Funny that you bring the Amco centre console up... I am looking for one for
my ' 69 MGC. Anyone have one that they are willing to part with?? Maybe Moss
will remake this popular item... Kelvin??

>From 68 - 72 in the US there was an Amco center console that was quite
popular. This console was often installed by dealers and a Kienzal (sp)
brand clock included.
During the 70s it seemed that injection molded consoles to install extra
gauges were the real in thing. I remember pages and pages of ads in
"Hot Car" magazines. Funny thing, the 70s were all about center
consoles, the 90s about pillar gauges.
Personally I've learnt to rely on the information that gauges give, so I
like to have a voltmeter and oil pressure gauge on my cars.
I guess I got carried away when I built my 69 MGB V6 with a custom dash
filled with;
Oil pressure, Oil temperature, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Fuel Pressure in
addition to the stock tach and fuel gauge.
It was pretty at night. Kinda like driving a Kenworth.
The alternator light on the MGB works as an effective voltmeter, so an
additional one really isn't necessary, unlike modern cars that flash the
alternator light for all kinds of happy go lucky reasons.

Lots of MGs that don't need additional gauges

I think anywhere the dealer or owner felt like :o), there was no
'official'
location I'm aware of. Perhaps that is why it was an accessory and not
an
option.
