Later instrument panel
Here's a snap I took of the later, post-'44 "American-style" CMP instrument panel (F15A) for reference in restoring my C8A panel (it was completely gutted and cut out). This is a much easier panel to refurbish as gauges and speedos were GI-standard, same as used on Jeeps and other U.S. vehicles. Repro and NOS gauges are relatively easy to find - I just got a very nice NOS temp gauge, complete with threaded probe bulb and sender line and a repro amp meter via EBay. Speedos tend to be a little rarer, and be aware of variations in markings, etc. Hope this helps.
