aleda Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hi Troops - gathering all the parts needed to put the dashtop and dashboard back together again. Got the new switch plinth wedged in, I see the original has a metal back which the new one doesn't but guess it's ok. I've been hunting in the Rimmer catalogue for new rubber rings for all the instruments to fit back into dashboard and can't find them listed. Any hints where I can get the full set from? All the instruments were working before removal, will I need anything else for re-fitting? Many Thanks as always Christine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 You don't need those rubber rings. You may want to convert to LED if not done yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 I’m pretty sure there was a seller on ebay offerng a kit of seals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many Thanks as always Christine Hi Christine, if Paddocks don;t do them (see post #4) then give these people a call https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SMITHS-JAEGER-2-52mm-instrument-to-dash-panel-seals-10/272819549532?hash=item3f854ff55c:g:~rgAAOSwHJhXMi5V They do everythng else.

Grahamgl Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Looks as if Danbury have changed their instrument seals. I bought a set of instrument to dash and chrome rim to glass seals a few months ago and they came as lengths of rubber/ neoprene which had to be cut to length and then the ends glued. The images of the seals and their text did not show/ mention this. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aleda Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi Everyone - thanks so much for advice. Geko - I did consider changing to led but am keen to keep her as original as poss and rarely drive her in the dark so treated her to a new set of original bulbs instead. I hadn't heard of Paddocks before so gave him a call, he said he didn't know if the instrument sealing rings (this is their real name, sounds like a child's swimming aid when I say rubber ring!) were specifically for a TR4A but as I've had 2 recommendations here I've taken a chance and ordered them. Brilliant and Thanks again Christine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
