message: Why have we got a picture showing aftermarket aero screens on a 1948 TC that should have the lexine covered dash?  Also, the steering wheel has aftermarket steering wheel wrap, and displays an aftermarket temp gauge under the dash and non-stock moto meter as radiator cap. Surely a better pic can be found.

message: The "TD Midget" section states there were "minor complaints over the lack of water temperature and fuel gauges."  But it did have a temp gauge.  It was combined with the oil pressure gauge; the combination was called a "safety gauge", made by Smiths; these served through to the 1967 MGB.  It can be seen on the image labeled "1953 TD instrument panel", at the top right corner of the center panel.  The top half is oil pressure, the bottom half water temp.  The water temp needle can be seen to be slightly off the peg, indicating the engine was still warm.  It was mechanical -- a Bourdon tube registered the vapor (excuse me - "vapour") pressure of an ether-filled bulb in the engine.  (The oil pressure gauge also used a nearly identical Bourdon tube.)
These mechanical gauges responded much more quickly than their electrical replacements (starting with the 1968 MGB), were more accurate, and as mentioned above, registered even with the ignition switched off.
As to the lack of fuel gauge, quite true.  But there was an after-market fuel tank dipstick available, which was eminently credible and could measure down to the last quart. BMJ-pdx (talk) 00:37, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
