Useful tip: when using a hole saw, run it in reverse for a few turns to gently scratch into the veneer before cutting, to avoid splitting and chipping. I also found that the hole was slightly tight and opened it out using an abrasive flap wheel on the drill. That’s a great tip! Cheers Doug.[/quote] Good advice running backwards for the initial 'cut' I also put masking tape around the circumference of the dash face & sometimes gently take the outer tip of the hole saw teeth off on a bench grinder as some have an aggressive tooth shape, then drill a test hole in a piece of scrap plywood

Andy, the rev counter is in the centre, I must have taken the photos centered on the gap between the rev counter and clock. You had my OCD head worried there for a moment

Thanks to all for the information & tips.
It doesn't seem there is a standard measurement and I think I will choose whats best for my seating and steering wheel position level with the other gauges.

Rob, I must admit I never, look at the clock in Seve'......time in the Morgan is precious, therefore not concerned. However, post an image when done 
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!

However, post an image when done Hi Mark I take you point but I keep looking at the empty space thinking something is missing! The clock wiring is there and I think they look good and I like spending money on my Morgan. Will add photos when I can get hold of a clock!
