The dash, basically an aluminum plate with wrinkle finish contains the centrally mounted mechanical Jones tachometer which is flanked by a Smiths water temperature and Smiths oil pressure gauge. All was disassembled and taken apart. We will see what we can clean/salvage and what gauge needs replacement. There is a spiders nest visit in the water temp gauge...so not sure about that one. We will take each gauge apart clean and test them. If you think that the mechanical tach takes up to one horsepower (roughly 1% of the entire power of the car) - it is worth considering switching to am electronic tach.
In the mean time we rebuilt the forward SU carburetor of our Peerless. Now she does not leak anymore fuel. Nice !
