Question for the experts please: I am in the hunt for the original dashboard instruments. They're all gone, perhaps the speedo would be repairable. Maybe.

Are there any rules for the manner which instruments were british and which were canadian made in those very early carriers? I wish to source the instruments, which were originally in my carrier when it was produced in 3/1941.

I can't vouch for the originality of my dashboard, but the speedo is Canadian Mk.I, the oil pressure gauge is (british?) Smiths, the temperature gauge is missing (should be british, don't know the manufacturer?) and I have a strong feeling the ammeter was replaced sometime later for the Ford ones.

The unusuall steel horn button seems very original (but I can always be wrong), and the all steel ignition box - I am sorry, but my knowledges are not so deep in this. Is it british, or the canadian type?

Thanks!
