Nice project! Do you still have the TVR T5 gearbox? If so does it have a mechanical speedo drive and adapter? If it does I'd be VERY interested in it

I do for the moment but I'm unsure if it does as tvrs speed sensor pickup is on the prop.

The one pictured in my post is from a very early one and would be fitted to the right hand side of the tailhousing. If your car had electronic speedo it will have a blanking plug there instead.

I'll have a look next time I'm up my workshop. I think it's a blank though

As cylinders 3 to 8 are inside the car, I had to move the dash back to accomodate the motor. So I took the stock moggy dash and cut it into 3 and removed the speedo, then joined it together to keep the moggy essence I then rolled up and ripped a panel up to take up the gap between the bulkhead and the dash, bloody compound curves!!!! And rolled in the beads I removed the glove boxes and filled them with panels to mount the Tvr gauges. The rational behind it irks that I can use the Tvr instrument loom and warning lights so that all the dials and lights were a straight swap And fitted looks like this The whole thing has to be removable to get to the rear of the engine too

I found a pic of my old twin turbod moggy, certainly looks busy in the bay. Note how short exhausts are, hence the reason I'm not worried about noise and temp 👍🏼
