Dash And Gauges

Worked on the dash and gauges this week.
Installed a kill switch on dash as well as the speedometer, clock and outside
temp. the lamp will be a low oil warning but will not kill the engine. If it works I will share the circuit on the tech forum. also need to work out the drive part of the speedometer. I will also have a choke pull. Knob is a place holder for now.

Nice looking dash! I always liked the look of engine turned aluminum.

Wow, your dash looks great! Please take this as a compliment, but the store bought steering wheel doesn't do your dash justice.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, and I am planning to make this out of aluminum and engine turn it, but this is a self stick sheet of engine turning over wood. I need to get a better drill press because my first attempts at engine turning where uneven because the shaft is a bit loose.

Thanks guys,The keyed switch on left and the kill switch on the right are wired in parallel so I can keep it from starting without key, or kill engine by turning off one or the other. Still working on drive for the speedometer will change face of gauge to calibrate speed. thats the plan.
