New Dash

[randtcastell]

I could not resist after a few months of contemplation and desire. My '87 gauges were faded, needles barely luminescent and the cover was cracked and somewhat opaque in places. Just wanted to share a photo. So pretty. Purchased from Desmo Market Via Sommavilla, 90B 35019 – Tombolo Padova (PD) – ITALY. 250 euros + 38 to ship to California USA. The supplier has a bunch of them: new old stock.

That does look really nice.
I like the polished upper triple and clip ones too.

Thanks for the info on this supplier Randy as my dash had the 3 securing rubber mounted securing bolts break loose very early on in my ownership (over 30 years ago). Eye re-glued them umpteen thymes all to no avail sew consequently eye ended up giving up a cuppla yeahs ago. And now with more than won of the idiot lights knot illuminating as well as the fuel gauge showing permanently empty, arm rilly lookin fourwood to getting my knew dash (just ordered in the last 24 ours). Arm sew exited, eye could s_ _t. Wool letchew noe how things transpire ok?

Wow 30 years! Inspiring! I am excited for you. I've really enjoyed riding the Paso at night and through tunnels with the bright Instrument cluster. I'm USA, and watching speedo needle go to 200 is even more fun than 120. Ha, Ha. ;^) KPH vs MPH

Looks beautiful - Thanks for the info!

yeah , faded needles They are one of those things that you dont notice over time but when you see new ones you realise how bad things had got . Windscreen wiper blades and shock absorbers fit in that box too .
Its good that there are still some new Paso parts out there

I did the same, but I changed the right gauge... it is showing water temperature (906, 907), not oil temperature (750)

[Mc tool]

Im pretty sure that the gauge and sender are the same ( come on somebody and tell me Im wrong ) it just says oil temp for the 750 and water temp for the 906 - 7.
For what its worth .......I had a 900ss ( belt ) that had 2 oil coolers ( no t/stat ) and in the winter the oil wasnt getting anywhere hot enough and I had the milky sight glass . After bypassing one cooler the oil did get to about 80 deg c which is still not quite hot enough ... 100 -105 would have been better. It was interesting that if I tagged along behind another vehicle I could watch the oil temp slowly rise up to normal

Mmm, winter in NZud. A wee bit cooler than the average.

Yean , That was in Nelson , some parts the road doesnt see sunlight for months in the winter , either shaded by hills or trees .
Round here (Thornbury ) they grit the roads instead of salting them . You gotta watch as when it warmer later in the day and there is no frost you come sailing round the corner ( thinkin your safe ) only to find the road is covered in dust , grit , sand and/or mud .
AND any how it aint that cold .......well, not all the time
