Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Plus 4 GDI: new dash board instruments

I would also have liked to have the Smith instruments on my +4. As a compromise, the dials on the VDO instruments were replaced. This was done by VDO (arranged by the Morgan workshop).

Here is the result.

The instruments were also arranged differently (note: some of the instruments are grouped and cannot be arranged separately so easily).

Michael in addition to my PM to you: would you think that the Morgan Workshop could also have VDO change the gauge bezels to match the available Smiths V-profile bezels? I think I need to get in touch with them
I am intending these bezels for the 52mm gauges and these bezels for the 100mm gauges.

Robert, SVC may save you a few shillings

Thanks Jon! I am still digging here... got a few enquiries running now for custom VDO gauges that match the factory ones as much as possible. If only I knew someone at MMC who could get me more detail on their gauge supplier for Plus 4 GDIs... Anyone know anybody? I am sure there would be a significant demand (me looking for Voltmeter and Oil Pressure gauge).

I am getting closer though. Found the VDO SingeViu 52mm gauges (oil pressure gauge, Voltmeter gauge both with CAN bus and analog electrical connection!) which seem to be the factory ones, and just need a few changes to individualise the looks.

I also found the exact matching chrome bezels - and by the way: those of you who would like to change their bezels to black or gold (both 100mm and 52mm), check out that website!

So all I need now is to find somebody who will "paint" the gauge elements that would then match the factory ones...

Melvyn Rutter does gauge restorations so might be worth asking.

Just a thought but if using CANBUS instruments it might be worth checking with an OBD2 dongle that the data you want them to display is available by using a compatible phone app like Torque OBD Check for example.
