If you do a search, there is a thread with photos somewhere in the LC/LJ section from memory. [Not sure what you mean by the 120mph speedo; all XU1's had that (your topic states you are referring to GTR XU1 dashes)].

Since this instrument panel has been mentioned, can someone definitively say how the highlights around the instruments were finished on the LC only? Photos in a brochure I have of a 1970 GTR seems to indicate these highlights were chromed, like the big Holdens. Does anyone know if that was the case, or were they finished in silver highlights like the LJ, (and as per restoration work done by Dash Original these days)? Thanks.
Oh My, Don't you post alot

I can't give you a 100% answer, but I've never seen one that looks like it was chromed, and when it wears off it doesn't peel off, it wears like paint.

This is the photo that indicates they were chromed
But maybe it is a trick of the brochure??

Yeah I see what you mean it certainly does look chromed but they haven't given the same treatment to the knob surrounds or the edge on the console.
Maybe its a trick of the light?

My GTR Dash is a LJ type as it has the screw holes in the bottom,,,,in the pic above it's the Top Right dash.
It does have the mounting clamps like the LC. I've always wondered why I could never put screws in so I could mount the bottom.
Learned something new here after having the car since 2006 with previous owner fitting the GTR Gauges

Hi Gooley
With the LJ, 2 of these gizmos clip into recesses in the bottom part of the dash opening. The screws going in from the front of the cluster then have something to purchase into.

OK thank you for that Bazza... I'll see what I can actually use....I'm not actually fussed with it... but at least I know now what to look for and use if I ever come a cross one
