    Csx2129

    Bill
    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.

    Thanks for the closeup of the switch panel. Interesting way they have the car wired. I can not guess what reserve is for.

    My first guess would be fuel tank, but I suppose they could have a reserve electrical system as well.?
