This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0015_01C5A10D.CB4D1340 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Alex After the second post I am able to view the directory and open the = files. The Dash: The indicator lamps are correct for a 1953 model except the bezels = should be black and the choke (mixture control) warning lamp (top left) = should be amber and the lens is reversed and the charge warning lamp = (bottom left) should be red. The VDO fuel gauge is incorrect - it should be British Jaeger. The Amp gauge is incorrect - it should be Lucas 0 - 30 Amps (however if = you have an alternator you may need the 0-60 amp unit) The ignition/?starter key switch (bottom far left) is incorrect and an = addition - it is in the position for the inspection lamp sockets, which = are missing. The toggle switch (top far left) is incorrect - it should be a push pull = switch with a Bakelite knob. =20 The PL6 headlamp and ignition key switch is original. The speedo is original The chassis: For ease of restoration I would strip the chassis and have it sand = blasted (take care with the chassis number). You can clear out the grit = with an air hose and or vacuuming.=20 At the front of your chassis there seems to be an angle iron welded = between the dumb irons. This is not original. I would take off the end = plates from the dumb irons and do a visual inspection and de-scaling of = the inside of the box section then replace the end plates. Galvanising a chassis after repair will make it last longer but is not = original. If you don't galvanise make sure you rust treat the inside = even if you only fish-oil the inside regularly.
