CHRIS211083 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What year and what MK???In my Mk2 the idiot lights were built into the speedo and only the indicator (GREEN) lamp was in the dash.Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tictor Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 it's a 1970'S MK3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Extras. Possibly to indicate when electric fan on, or fog light or heated rear window - struggling to think of anything else..... :-/Ignition, oil and mainbeam lights can just about be seen in the speedo.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Definately after market. Those little switch panels are also a clue... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Put a blinking LED in one of the lenses, switch it through one of the switches, viola, fake burgular alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The only warning light originals are red(ign) green(oil) and blue(main beam) in the speedo and green indicator in the centreIn the 70`s there was a fad to add warning lights and switches....................that did nothing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Moore Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Tictor (is that your name? Autocorrect turns it to 'Ichor'), it shouldn't be hard to return your dash panel to standard, if you want to get rid of the extra lamps. Remove the wood panel, strip back the varnish and veneer, plug the unwanted holes with glued dowel, sand it flat and glue a new layer of veneer over the top. You can get a bit funky with the sort of wood you choose, if you don't want to replicate the factory's (I think) American Walnut. There are some interesting timbers available online, and because you don't need much it'll only cost a few dollars. I re-veneered my GT6's dash, and it was the most satisfying part of the cars's restoration - http://geologist-abroad.blogspot.com.au/2009/07/dash-it.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docman Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Or you could contact Randy at Prestige Autowood.http://www.prestigeautowood.com/I haven't priced his work, but it looks wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
