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

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 class="">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

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

test to move one of the
connections across to the spare
spade for the other connection.</font></div>

<div class="">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>

[Mgs] Dash Light Problem</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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>
