Kidding about plywood... serious about the speedo

I found that to be the one good idea he had. Here's an IH speedo I get a kick out of.....look closely.

Boy, I guess not! Takes a little getting used to, though, lol. Here's the pair from an L series, IIRC.

53OTM,, this is all you need and it can be done with a minimum of disruption to the rest of the structure. I think it would offr you the path of least resistance and still give you that which you seek. Can't get outside to measure right now because of cold. And I have no more humps right now. Sorry.

Wow! That dash looks like it belonged there!
FatFender56 went the other way and shaved the hump off his dash.

I appreciate the offer, if I decide to commit I'll contact you. I'm worried it won't fit well because the 56 dashes look to be 6" on more deeper due to the wrap around than the 53 and the hump seems to go the depth of the dash.

I almost bought a 58 Edsel cluster last nite. I love the speedo on those, looks like a compass spinning. It also has a hump like the 56 but squared off and doesn't look very deep.
