Anyone know where I can get hold of the three dials for the centre of
my dash in magnolia?  The are currently black but I'm working on a
resto project and want everything to be tickety boo.
A bit more info first.  The dial goes to 130 and has the fuel gauge
and milage in it besides all the light lights (? don't know what the
term for those are).
On either side of this are gauges which don't do anything, at least on
my mini.  I think that they should be oil and revs but can't really
say since all mine do is sit there.  A bit like my fuel gauge which is
either full or half full.  It adds to the fun of mini driving.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Do you mean three little magnolia clocks or a big magnolia central Speedo
and two little gauges?  If it is for a wooden dash, they are available from
most mini places online.  If you want a big Speedo, then minispares and mini
sport do them.  They aren't cheap.

They also aren't original equiptment if you are doing a restoration.  If you
want fancy, why don't you get a silver one :)

What you could do is the same as i did and strip the parts down to the bare
and spray paint them taking note of where the speeds are etc....

OK not the best way to do it but its darn cheaper than replacing them...

On the dials the only main prob is that they rust!!  Get the rim re chromed
and bob is your mothers brother!!

Thanks for all your help guys.  It is the speedo and two other dials
that I'm after.  I know that I can get them through one or two stores
but I was wondering if anyone had some going begging.  Sometimes
people do have things laying around.  I might have some wheels and a
grill going begging soon (and dials if someone can get vanilla ones to
me).
Anyway.
Thanks again.

Hi there, I?ve just got hold of some magolia dials for my 92 mini
Cooper from www.miniboss.co.uk they look the business and were very
resonably priced. Cheers

If you want to do it on the cheap I have some jpeg pics that can be printed
onto self adhesive printer paper, prob the gloss type would be best, then
stick them over your existing clocks, there for the the dial type pod, they
are magnolia / cream in colour.
