Instrument panels (Dash boards)

[Brian Johns]

Lynn
I think it is, one of my instrument panels is from Sentinel Wagon T80889, the other from another tub I have also by the same manufacturer, which I believe was a 3" Mortar Carrier. My Wolseley 3" Mortar Carrier unfortunately didn't have a instrument panel.

Thankyou Lynn, Brian and Richard. Just looking through my carrier scrapbook I noted that I have more printed details about instrument panels than anything else about the carrier - no wonder it was so confusing.

I think I have it right in my mind now and will start to put the instruments together in due course.

I know that I can have a new one made but by any chance would anyone have an original Mk1 panel they would be willing to sell or trade for ?

Cheers

Stole this pic from Trademe. The guy selling it bought it in the U.K.
I've never seen or heard of a MkII in N.Z.

[Philliphastings]

you're just teasing Lynn...

Mind you is it was a Mk1 panel I might sign up to trade me and have a go at it.

just want to say great thread guys, the finer details are rarely covered by publications and it's the little things that often need most explanation.

cheers

No problem Eddie. The whole plan is to learn from each other, so we can put our carriers back together, a little more like they were. If everyone adds what they know is correct, we slowly get some clarity in the picture. This is why we need to know just what model our carriers are.
How are you going with your carrier?

Hi Eddy, as Lynn will tell you it's the finer details I like the most. I even try to get the screw heads facing the right way if I can.

So far the this Scout has been the biggest challenge yet to my hunter/gatherer instincts but I'm getting there - not a whole lot is missing from the project now and it seems to have come together by some mysterious series of co-incidences and sheer dumb luck finds.

I would dearly love to be able to post a blog of each part as it is found, restored and ultimately fitted. Maybe Santa will bring me a real comoputer this Christmas.

an enduring database of parts details would be a global asset in my opinion. I wonder if Nigel would conside part three to his carrier books - a comparison of spare parts and their interchangeability...

Cheers
