A new look for the cockpit

A 370mm flat Prototipo to replace my cracked 350mm black. A proper horn button and a Heuer Master Time/Monte Carlo round out the changes for this Spring so far.

Pete- VERY nice clean look! That must bring a smile every-time you get behind the new wheel.

Pardon my ignorance, but why is the speedometer tilted?

Yes, I love it!!

My last steering wheel, was 350mm and it blocked the section of the speedo between 60-90 mph. So I tilted it to make that range visible. Don't really need to have it tilted with the larger wheel, but as this is a 1968 I have to crawl into the trunk and unscrew the gauge from the back in order to tilt it. A job for a later date.

Tazzie I've had those Heuers for near 20 years just waiting for the right car to put them in!

Hahahaha! I'm sure they sound better than the clocks, not that I could hear anything while the engine is running.
