MG TD TF 1500 - Dashboard Components Coming to Ttalk

A couple of years ago I received a CD from Patrick Earles containing a whole lot of images that he took while disassembling and reassembling everything on his dashboard (fascia to some folks). There are 19 separate files of images on things, such as Speedometer, Tachometer, Amp Meter, Ignition Switch, etc. I'm putting them onto Ttalk using the jAlbum program that the late gordon lawson introduced me to. Access to the list of files will be through a page on Ttalk. To give you an idea of what's to follow I've uploaded Patrick's Amp Meter images as http://www.ttalk.info/Amp_Meter/ I'll try to get the rest created this weekend. Bud

That will be a great resource, Bud, thank you. I am currently doing battle with the chrome bezel nut on the map light switch on my TF. It keeps wanting to cross thread. Maybe I will learn from seeing this.

I can use the dished speedo instructions per another thread :-)

Those are nice pictures. Is the order correct? I could not follow the sequence.
Christopher Couper

Couldn't tell you, Chris. They're just as Patrick sent them. Bud

Great resource Bud; I'm sure I'll be using it as I plan on putting decals on my old instruments at some point... if you or anyone else has images of actually putting on the decals I would love to see those also...

Hope to use this to guide me while making my odometer work again this fall.

Bud, great idea. As I would like to check over my spare Tachometer this winter. And, possibly my Metric Speedometer, on my dished TD instruments.
Keep up the excellent work.
Cheers, Barry

Phew! Okay, they're up at http://www.ttalk.info/EarlesImages.html Please keep in mind that they were not created by Patrick to be 'here's how I did it' files. They are a group of images that he took while doing the work on his dashboard. Bud

Bud,

I am more than impressed that you took the time to load all those pictures. I only wish I had taken the time to sort through them, made more comments and deleted some of the poor quality pictures and/or duplicates. I hope this will help someone in the future, as much as you and so many others on this BB have helped me.

Patrick, it's your material. If you'd like to do any editing I'd be more than happy to update any of the files. Bud
