Guages. I think that the reason guages are better rotated so that, say, maximum revs are horizontal is that it takes a perceptible time for my eyes to refocus from infinity to 2 feet and then back to infinity. By having the guages set properly one can sense the position with peripheral vision without having to focus away from the road. So it's safe. Similarly with having a speedo in the centre of the car....in many ways it's better because peripheral vision makes it easier to see.....it has to be big enough though! I also think you do need rev counter info as modern engines cut you off at the limit, they don't give you time to hear things starting to complain before they've wasted a second or two resetting.
That's my old man opinion anyway...:)

Enclosed are the before and after photos after replacing the center panel with one from MK Holztechnik, who also supplied the steering stalks. The steering column cowl was covered with leather by Melvyn Rutter.
Best regards,

My Car Dash on a 1986 model
I'm currently trying to find a 15" wheel ( the one shown is 17" Springaflex) as I can't drive the car with the large wheel fitted.
Its currenly wearing a 15" Motolita ( wrong colour wood)so I can make it look like this again

One-of-a-kind dashboard made to measure by MK corresponding to my design/draft (with his kind advice and experience).

- Black crackle finish paint (very difficult to paint and only in a perfect look after the second or third try by a specialised paintshop).

- Leather stripe on the lower edge of the dashboard.

- Two plates, one with all switches concerning the lights including the indicators and the main center plate with the other switches and a Smith clock. Both covered with original leather Muirhead Black.

- So NO stalk switches on the steering column and a made to measure and very slim and clean cover tube in crackled finish paint.

- Dished Moto Lita steering wheel with a rounded hub cap and a rounded MORGAN wing on it (it was rather difficult to deform it without breaking it).

- Matching and lockable glove box cover, glove box interior slightly cushioned and than lined with leather Muirhead Black. grin2

love

Kind regards,


George

Wow! Exceptional. Opposite of what is normally seen, using the crinkle paint on the dash and the leather on the panel.
Well done!
