My brother is building a golf cart type vehicle. He is making to look like an old buggy type car and he ask me to carve the dash. I have not been able to find any patterns. But I did find the attached image on the internet. I am also looking for an oil gauge and temp gauge. I will post pictures when the car is finished. Any help with these patterns would be great.
Thanks,
Randy

I have a set of Auto Gage patterns, PM me if you would like them. BJB

I can remove the hands if you want to use them as active wooden gages

He is not really going to replicate anything. Something like the attached picture. I know a car like this didn't have gauges but he wants some king of custum detail in it.

I didn't even notice the KM. It should be MPH or just remove the KM. Thanks for catching that.

For a 1902-1903, a speedo, if any, would only need to go to 30 mph. If its gas powered, you could make a coil box with a switch on the dash. Steam and electrics would have their appropriate gauges.
