    More OEM original dash BLING for my 18

    Found an original Teleflex 270 MKIII speedometer, as new in box. Been looking for a while... now my dash will be complete and almost original...

    Nice find!

    I need one of these too, plus an AMP gauge to make my dash period correct.

    Rob, which amp gauge? There is a boat resale shop here that has some teleflex gauges. Send me a pic of the others you have. I will see if it matches...

    Thanks Jim - Here's a dash pic (closest one I have). Hopefully you can view it well enough.

    Need a dash plate too - someone was overzealous with the Phillips at some point in the boat's history.

    Congrats on your rare find Jim. Old school really is cool! I've been contemplating gauges on my project boat and it's not an easy task.

    Adam, I've used Teleflex Heavy Duty's as replacements. They look like old Stewart Warners. But there are several makers that offer vintage looking gauges, too.
