<br>
Went to the site but found it was just like many others !
They put up too much chat and miss the facts. I could not find
a product list with prices - take a look ar Speedhut's web site
and you will see what I mean. Nowadays it is all presentation
an not on product. That's why US TV programs have become almost
total light displays.<br>

Cheers<br>

Neither my speedo nor tach are working well and when
checked out found it was the heads. Pricey
replacements ! As my MGB GT V8 is not really
original it did not take me long to find Speedhut
replacements. They have a good selection and a
brilliant web site to "build" you own gauge. Mine
will be very very close to the original but with far
better performance and features. The speedo is GPS
driven - my oath - and has no connections to the car
(except for Lucas smoke to drive the light bulbs).
Trouble is that when I fit them I will no longer go
from 0 to 45-55kph in less than 3 secs with engine
ticking over at 500rpm.<span

<div>Thanks, Paul. I’m checking dash ground first
thing after much good advice, especially about not
assuming it’s OK. Both indicator lights work. My
tach was acting funny. The car ran fine, but the
tach never registered over 3k RPM. Thanks for the
good info, Paul and everybody else.</div>

<div><font size="2">Usually the first step would
be to bypass the dimmer rheostat, which may
not be as easy on a padded dash as on the UK
dash. They usually have double spades for
each connection, with two wires in a single
spade on each connection, so it is a
relatively simple test to move one of the
connections across to the spare spade for the
other connection.</font></div>

<div> </div>
<div>All the gauges should have earth wires on a
72, you can't assume the dash is earthed. There
should be a black wire under the fixing nuts
that hold them in the dash, or could be a spade
on the back of the tach case. That is fed from
a 4-way bullet connector that also feeds the
right-hand indicator tell-tale, does that work?
The left-hand is fed differently.</div>

<div><font size="2">Does the tach work as it
should? If so that would appear to have a good
earth and it's bulb should work at least. Are
you looking at them in low light levels? You
won't see gauge illumination if the ambient
conditions are bright.</font></div>

<div><font size="2">Did you only have one bulb
unscrewed when you tested for 12v in the socket

You need to, especially if your test light has
an LED or you use a voltmeter.</font></div>

<div><font size="2">Take each socket out of the
gauge and earth it with another wire. Make sure
your earth wire is good, can your test lamp
check earths as well as 12v?</font></div>

[Mgs] Dash Light Problem</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The dash lights don’t work on my 1972
MGB. The trouble lite will light when I test
the sockets, but various new bulbs won’t. Does
this mean low voltage? I’ve grounded the test
light on a bolt and assume the dash is grounded.</div>
