[Tigers] Dash Pieces

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Mayf,
Pretty sure the power to the gauges and dash lights come from the  voltage 
stabilizer.  It's a little squarish, metal device about 2"x2" and  is 
screwed to the support column that goes from the dash to the firewall (just  to 
the right of the steering column). If you pull the wires off  be sure to  
label where each goes because the color coding of the wires will probably be  
faded. Not sure of a source for the stabilizer if that's the  problem.

Ok, I am replacing and adding a couple of dash switches to  my car.  The 
pieces I need are the chrome screw on switch bezel for use  on the wood dash.  
Is there a source for such?  I have the switches  but sadly they do not 
come with them.   
And I am having the dickens of a time with the instruments:  mostly with 
the dash lights. I know grounds are the typical source or cause of  the 
problems and I have been attacking that as best I can.  Also there  does not seem 
to be power to that circuit, even when I turn the lights on and  the panel 
switch as well.  I replaced the fuse block and that did help.  More voltage. 
Was pretty corroded. New one has a spiffy cover and I applied  dielectric 
grease as well.  The wipers work, the horn honks the heater  motor runs, have 
oil pressure, but no dash light or fuel level or temp. Also  purchased a 
brake light switch as well. Turn signals work as does the green  indicator 
light on the dash. Head lights ( high and low beams), turn signals  and stop 
light all work. Part of the issue is size 100 hands (big) in a size 3  under 
dash.  So I am going to keep after it.  Was there an wiring  change in the MK1 
production run? The wiring on my gas and temp gages does not  look like the 
schematic.  If I look at the back side of the fuel gage and  temp gage what 
wire goes where? 
Some remote help needed here… at least some advice or  comment.
