Bill I haven't installed a comp dash in quite a while but I will see if I can find a pic.

My plan, as it evolves, is to replicate CSX2129 as close as possible. I am currently searching for as much information and as many pictures as I can. The only problem I see is finding those original style valve covers

I have collected 21 images of CSX2129. One is a fairly good shot of the dash.
CSX2129 was the third factory rack and pinion race car. Originally she was finished with both an engine and differential cooler, large barkes, drivers roll bar, pop riveted hood scoop, front brake cooling ducts, front and rear sway bars, Nassau sidepiepes, Kidney bean Halibrands, quick jacks, Konis, dual fuel tanks totaling 38 gallons and a special dash layout with a Sun tach and Stewart Warner fuel pressure and ammeter gauge. The body also has rounded more flaired rear fenders. The leading edge of the hood has been riveted to the hood frame to keep the hood skin from coming loose.
Email me are I will send them back to you.

Found these photos, probably the same ones Geary has. the dash shot is CSX2129 and the Switch shot is CSX2136
Thanks for the closeup of the switch panel. Interesting way they have the car wired. I can not guess what reserve is for.
Note the gear shift.

this is what my competition dash looks like.
Terry-
Your car is flawless! I'm impressed. Did you use SW Comp gauges?
The more I see Unique cars, the more I am impressed with their looks and quality.
Bill,
Thanks for the nice compliment!
Yes I used the SW gauges!
Here's another shot.
Simply gorgeous! I did a search for those gauges and found them. But they call out a mechanical tach. Is that correct?
Here's a 3/4 front shot and rear shot.
Bill,
They are mechanical and electrical.
More gorgeous pics! I'm drooling all over my keyboard!!
As for the tach...would it work with an MSD type dizzy?
Bill,
Here's a shot of my competition valve covers. They were hard to find and expensive and also require a special aluminum spacer available from Southern Automotive.
The perfect compliment for originality! I plan to use your car as a benchmark for my build. Mine will be red like CSX2129.
