Two gauges 3 dials.
Had to lift off shed nail into living room to test fit temp sender in spine butt to fit a wire loom 'box'. What ever adventure they had before Peel, she gave em lots more for 7000 miles. So some the worse for wear, mounting to inside trim. I like to see needles moving and toggles to flick. This one lit it at night. Mount was pinched in the fork bar clamps and survived many crashes, till upside down twice truck ramp broken axle piss off surprise, so yes the thin mount held up fine d/t isolastics and my fine fork action thank you. Not sure how to mount them next time as likely some digital wonder display will go front center. The turbo gauge was worth some good laughs watching freaked out sport bikers finally catching up arguing about where I'd hidden the turbo! You should have seen the faces drop and others roll back on heels involuntarily when told "it ain't installed yet". Lotus dashes often have this Smith dial face showing. I've already got the mirrors. Tricky to find a vac/boost gauge in the proper low boost range.
Brass is sender nut, hack saw blade is hanging across below rear loop to be replaced by a strut to hold electric loom connector box. Max tire motion should miss it by an inch. Gold piece in background - one way in oil tank vent and cap up by the stem.
