Speedometer Advice Needed

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Next to Pedr's and Darian's observations. In their case the gear shift quadrants appear to have been blacked out. This doesn't appear to be the case with the 2pdr faces as the ones I have now seen were manufactured without the quadrants. The question is why was this blacking out done and for what vehicle? I have always restored Carrier panels as they were presented to me but I am now wondering if they were the correct panels containing quadrant scripted speedometer faces or were they, or at least the early ones, non-quadrant faces. It also appears that the 2pdr instrument panel holding plate had the guard protecting the lower toggle switches.

With regard to the fuel gauge it appears that the face and needle was simply painted out. I was given one of these by either Graeme or Wayne from the West, sorry guys I can't remember which one, and it was purported to be one specifically modified for a Carrier. This is in my collection never to be used.

Since this thread started I have had made the decals covering this particular speedometer face.

If anyone else has access to a 2pdr Carrier, I would like further confirmation of the speedometer face.
