Instrument Panel

The original panel that was created by Ed Zink had a Sun Tach, a water temperature Gauge and an amp meter. All mounted on 1/4 aluminum attached to brackets welded to the cross support. Unfortunately this disappeared at one point and a new instrument panel put in place

So I went about creating a replacement for this lost piece of engineering that Ed made. I pretty much duplicated what Ed had done. Still needs a few touches like engraving for the switches and buffing. The Sun Tach needs to go out for rebuild along with the EB-7 transmitter. The original Sun Tach was quite a bit longer as pictured above with the 6 volt system versus the 12 volt RC 85 unit.

Buttons and switches will be as follows:

Horn, lights, Battery, on left, Fuel Pump, Ignition, Starter on right

I think it is a tad wider and may impact the steering wheel but can always do it again.
