I must admit I'm not too happy with the size of the US speedo and tacho on my '79 1500. I'm converting to RHD so needed to purchase a UK dashboard to replace the US dash.
I understood that the US gauges were smaller than the UK gauges, but I really didn't realise just how much smaller they were. I can cut a "donut" out of the old US dash and weld to the back of the UK dash to make the gauges fit, but there must be another way.
If I could find a '79 UK set of gauges, would they be calibrated to show correct revs and speed straight away, or would there be some work to do.
That is, of course, if I can find a UK set of '79 gauges here in Australia. From what I can gather, there are very few 1500 MG's in Oz.
How far back through the years can I go to fit a "larger" set of gauges and still have them calibrated to the engine???
