I have no dash in my GTII, so no point of reference Buffalobradleygt2 Question: Are you referring to just the instrument cluster panel, or the whole Dash panel? Are these missing? I have both, I could sell one or both if you are in need. The instrument cluster panel has no gauges. They were badly rusted and removed. The Dash panel was removed from the GTE body that was cut up to install on a MG chassis. The Dash panel had a radio installed on the left side of the steering wheel. Wyn |

WYN,
Thanks for the interest and offer to assistance.
I do have dash and have gauge cluster but my GTII sat since 1986 and mice had a feast with the wiring, all the rocker switches where brittle and broken (or broke as soon as you touched them) and no indicator lights.
I have all the gauges but no idea if they work, I was going to build my own dash cluster with more modern switches and would like to try and reuse my old gauges (I do like the looks of them). I have seen some original gauge sets for sale on the site but not sure if I want to spend that kind of money on 30+ year old gauges.
I am also thinking of going away from the “light lock” setup and going with the linear actuator that I have seen talked about in several previous posts. If I go that way I would wire a relay into my headlight switch to operate that.
This is my first car project so I am open to all suggestions and advice from those a little more experienced.
Dave

I bought it on Ebay for about $100.00. My son drove to New Jersey to pick it up. The owner said he was going to mount it on a MG chassis and it did not work. Due to the low noise of the GT2 I don’t see how it will fit over any V6 or V8 engine too. Unless you jack it up about 5 to 8 inches in the air. The air box was cut away, the fire wall was cut away, and the sides of the kick panels were cut away. Not much there to patch together again. But I got a lot of the needed hardware to mount the first body. New old stock Seat covers was a big win there, and the GT2 gas tank, extra doors, one rear side window, the rear window glass, no front windshield. All unused.
