Bush Tucker Man:
The instruments of the 110 are making me think of organising an alternative arrangement

As we all know the usual arrangement is (L to R; Speedometer, Fuel, water temp, clock (or tachometer)
So, in order to have a far more logical display, I'm considering exchanging the positions of the fuel-gauge & tachometer.
It makes (to me at least) far more sense to have the RPM displayed right in front of you rather than off-set to one side & hidden by a reflection.

Why LR never did this defies logic (what! mention LR & logic in the same sentance :shock: )

Well, I do, before you all write it, production lines, the panel doesn't have to be specially constructed (it can be a usual line item)

I'm just wondering if there's going to be enough wiring loom leeway to accomplish this idea or not :?

When I added a tacho to my 1996 Defender I removed the analog clock, moved the coolant temp and fuel gauges 1 position right, then put the tacho next to the speedo. No issues with the existing cabling.

I unscrewed it late this afternoon, but didn't have a knife (or scissors) with me for the loom binding, it does look eminantly 'do-able' though.

Ought to be a 'five minute job' :wink:  :cry:
