Hello Jay---Do you remember our pub lunch during a MMC factory visit a couple of years back----I also bought a Mig clock off Ebay with a black face, which before I fit (or have fitted because unlike you I lack the courage and know how) I will need to repaint ivory to match my Roadsters ivory retro instruments.It will be enough of a challenge to paint the digits, but I am game for that part at least.
Really impressed how you have made yourself an original one-off dash---really fantastic---and a real improvement to boot!!
All the best!
