Title: S2/3 dash into a S1 Post by: lancianut666 on 24 April, 2019, 07:34:09 AM Hi all
Anyone fitted a S2/3 dash into a S1 car? my car will have a S2 engine and will be able to have a temperature gauge and more legible instruments if a S2 dash could be introduced. It would mean a bit of re-wiring but can anyone see other issues ?

The first series instruments just need a good clean if you got the car in bits may be worth sending them off to a specialist to be serviced. The Appia temperature guage is notoriously inaccurate. If you want a temperature guage may be worth considering fitting mechanical one with Capilliary pipe which are considered to be very accurate. Reading the instuments at night can be a problem with an Appia replacing the main battery starter motor lead would help as on my car there was 4 voltage drop on the old cable.
