Dashboard


Like the Ruby this 750 Special came with a nice dashboard panel, just needed a quick lick of paint. I managed to get an original A7 Speedo, AC Petrol gauge and a rather nice looking oil pressure gauge from various ebay auctions. The ammeter is reproduction Massey Ferguson unit (at least the pointer is a vintage shape). The red waning lamp and panel illumination switch are reproductions. The lights switch came in the parts box. The blank holes are for the choke and starter pulls. I had to make an adapter washer for the warning lamp and fabricate at least three of the retaining brackets. Look forward to mating it with a wiring loom some time.



Here is an Index page for the build
