Default Friendly Manitoba

We don't have "Friendly Manitoba" on our licence plates for nothing!

Default CMP guages

I used a mechanical set from Princess Auto, they sell a 3 gauge set, oil, temp and ammeter under $30 for all 3. I taped the glass and gave them a light bead blast to roughen the chrome, etching primer and finally OD green.

The temp gauge had the longer line @72" which is needed in a CMP cab 13.
The other advantage is you can light up the gauges on your dash as they all come with a built in light option. Just tie in to tour dash lite circuit, if you do any night driving its easy to see how your engines vital signs are doing.

As far as the speed o goes, the standard M series speed o works, but may not have the trip odometer but drops in easy, Ebay, type in M37 or M38 or M35, there are usually lots available $40-100.

As far as the 2 big holes go they are standard Jeep WW2 style, lots of NOS available $20 #30 for the pair.

Your CMP looks to be in good condition judging by the picture, send some more!
