Reply To: Slough dash board circa 1950

Hello J,

Thank you for your thoughts. I understand your point of view and sentiment and whilst I do not subscribe to the rivet counter view of life, I like to find out what might have been, before innovating for my own needs, in order to keep within the spirit of the original arrangements.

I bought my car in October 2018 and it appealed to me in part because it was relatively unmolested. I am going to fit a wet heater and plan to use an advance retard mechanism to control the flow valve. I am sure you are right about the parts bin approach, since Citroen Slough were dependant upon suppliers, often of parts possibly designed for other manufacturers and certainly by suppliers who had bigger customers.

So my meddling will join that of the previous 9 owners, but I hope it will be ‘in keeping’. Thanks for your thoughts

Jack
