Custom Mk1 Dash

Hey wondering if anyone has built a custom dash for their Mk1 escort.
I'm currently building mine but not 100% sure of the prefered layout.
Also has anyone converted to electric speedo vs the cable? any tips?

Love your ideas

Cheers

    Yes this model + temp sender + pressure sender = $2600 = ouch
    Have just ordered the stack Boost and fuel gauge from UK now as exchange rates are good. Pity Stack don't do an analogue speedo.

    Will be tossing the old led bezels in favour of these new bezels.

    Speedo arrived today from Burtons. I decided to go for the electronic
    which is fully programmable, Unfortunately the max readout is 140MPH I expect i'll clock it very soon!!

    All good! its water proof and stain proof, though I do recommend two hands on the wheel while driving.
