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.
