dash set up

[Robert Cassin]

Does anyone have pictures  for  the correct set up for the dash? All the instruments and switches for a M 3? Thanks, Rob

Look at page 22 in your TM 9-710 manual, dated May 1953. It has a complete layout of the dash. If you do not have manuals yet let me know and I can take a picture of mine to post. Dashes for the most part are all the same. The exception is that some have the ignition switch and push button switched positions. Some have different data plates also.

Here is a photo of my dash.



I'm using French gauges. The speedo is currently out and I haven't put the data plate on yet. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the picture. I am looking for a closeup pic of the Amp/battery gauge. That  when is very hard to get? corect?. My friend might have one and trying to see if his is an actually HT gauge. Thanks, Rob.

Hi Steve, So is the AMP meter very hard to find? Thanks for your help, Rob

Dave Yamulla has them.

As mentioned David Yamulla is a good source for gauges. He also has NOS French gauge clusters.

I think he is looking for the voltage guage on the right not the amp guage.

[Robert Cassin]

Yes, the voltage gage. Thanks, Rob

I will get some photos next time I'm at the shop. Also there is a section in the manual for body and chassis for this gauge. Rod Shaver was selling these gauges at one time. Steve-0 was or is making reproductions of this gauge using the $10 Chinese gauges on eBay. Check his listings on eBay. I found a few in the past that would work made by Watson but I believe the originals were made by Sun. Again, I will verify this. Later halftracks or some of those that went through rebuild had the gauge removed and a blank covered the hole.

I have a temp gauge where the volt gauge should be . Thanks, Rob

[steve1973]

Here are some photos of the volt gauges I have. Mine are made by Sun Manufacturing Company.
