    series LR 'Sports dash'?

    I had a photo shown to me the other day and I've been racking my brains ever since, then thought, ask someone here!!!

    It was a series 2 or 2a dash, the guages were oil pressure, water temp and battery voltage, but in the middle of it all was a small tacho. It was definately all smiths/ yaeger, and the tacho needle was the same as the other pointers, indicating OE surely.
    Has anyone seen this on a series before? The vehicle also had twin tanks, some interesting striping and paint, and extra headlamps etc.

    Any info? I might try and get a copy back of the photo and scan it.

    Never seen one like that. ALL SII/IIA landies had 2 big round guages speedo/odo in one, and temp/fuel in the other. Military landies had a 2" smiths oil pressure guage as well (instead of the warning light IRC) - but it isn't mounted in the dash.

    Early series 1's had about 3-4 small guages, but I am sure no tacho.

    Sounds like a really well done home job. Not uncommon to replace the fuel/temp combo guage with a Tacho and add small individual guages.

    Tacho and gauges may have been out of a Rover car.

    Actually, what I meant was it still had the standard s2 dash with the two big round instrument clusters, in the middle of the non speedo one there is a neat factory looking tacho. Definately looks standard or at least LR aftermarket etc, I'll try and get that pic...
