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

hold them in the dash, or could be a

<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>
