Jordan, I've been giving it some thought and I may be willing to give Eeyore a new and loving home, depending on price more than anything else as I know his mettle (metal?)

I wouldn't mind a three-function gauge cluster like this, for the Triumph Dolomite HL dashboard, in my 1974 Triumph Toledo 1300.

However, I wonder whether the four-function gauge (water-temperature, fuel-level, oil-pressure & amps) for a 1300 Vanden Plas, might also be suitable!?!

I'm hoping to fabricate a dashboard panel with provision for three 4 inch instruments & four 2 inch instruments, relocating the 60 mm, 8-segment warning-light cluster to the clock position on the far side of the heater & ventilation controls.
