On disassembly I found the original hand written part numbers on the gauges. All very interesting owning a prototype.

Great work. I was just pondering on Miffys binnacle issues. Twenty years has been hard on the brittle plastic, both the binnacle and the rear mount as well.
I believe there is now a metal version of the rear mount, but the binnacle there are only OEM parts to choose from. Anyone know any differently? |

Blimey Mo. Thank you. That is rather nice
 And almost the same price as the OEM plastic ones... How?!?! 
Ah Raptor are also the ones that do the rear mount as well. Has anyone fitted this binnacle to their post-2000 TD5? I cannot quite see how the lit heater control panels fit/look. |

From the sites writing there are no cut outs for the heater / blower illuminated inserts. Presumably one would use the pre TD5 decals or cut the holes yourself.

Yes I see that. I have emailed them to confirm. It would be a shame to lose the lit binnacle
