I sent another email the Borden museum asking (begging) that I would pay them to unweld the hatch and take photo's for me and I got an answer back this morning. They were able to shine a torch in side and said that there were no instruments left at all so there is nothing that can help me. Very disappointing.

Hi Colin,
They are my contribution to your project, they have been on the shelf here for about 12 years. the rotary part of the lamp is not there, this was all I had to go on to identify it, it has 'Lucas Birmingham' marked on it. There were 4 all together, one on dashboard, another to the side of the driver, near right shoulder, I think, and two in the turret. I located some reconditioned ones, a wonderful job by someone.
I have also found the template drawing of the dashboard panel, will have to redraw it first though.

regards, Richard
