It's weird though, the tacho and speedo are the same size... i was aiming to use the standard speedo in the centre if possible. That will make it look very different to the one pictured.


yeah i thought that was weird too...MASSIVE tacho...i'd prefer to have the tacho over the steering wheel in that setup...
Actually i think rather than it being a massive tacho it's a smaller than standard (Morris) speedo. After all this dash was designed for a Leyland.

I found this pic by google... here's the page i got it from... http://www.inno-mini-world.com/Innocenti/MiniCooper1300/Interior.htm

oh...that rectangular thing below the dash looks like the heater...

personally i reckon the binacles stick out too far in this design...would look WAY cooler if they were lower profile...but yet again...thats just me :)

Once installed the tacho and speedo (which are approx 10omm or the same as an MG or an E type combination) are dead centre with the speedo furthest from the steering wheel. the 3 auxilary gauges will be less visible but so would anything infront of the driver in a mini especialy with a smaller wheel. But overall the best dash for the mini by far - would be great if anyone could do a mould of it (destroying an original dash in the process probably).

not deffinately. a fibeglass mould could be taken of the original, then a fibreglass copy made. then the copy could be cut up and flipped to suit RHD.
i doubt anyone would be able to get an inno dash over here anyway, but good luck.

Idealy but half the times you still end up braking the fragile plastic dash while puling it out.


The speedo and the tacho already are in the cente together - a nice touch would be to modify it so that for a roundnose you could have a standard large speedo and a tacho side by side (using the large roundnose speedo would eliminate the need for a fuel gauge pod on the side - thus freeing up space for the larger gauge. For clubbys you could have two smaller ones side by side.
