d24 rebuild help needed

[connorat51]

Currently rebuilding a dodge d24/ p15 and i need some help. got a pile of chrome and a tub of bolts but i havnt got a clue how the dash is assembled and which switch/ button does what. this is how far i've got up to now. managed to work out some chrome and a few switches and the clocks but thats it. i was just wondering if anyone has any pictures of the front and rear of thier dash they could share to make my life easier. Or even if someone could label my picture with which switch does what. there will be other areas of the car i need help with too but for now this is what im stuck on. ive managed to make most of the loom for the 12v conversion and sourced most of the parts i need to make it work. i was just given a painted shell and a bunch of the old parts which are barely recogniseable as it was stood in the desert in africa for the last 15 years.no pictures were provided of the teardown either haha. any help will be much appreciated.

It's very old but I should have a thread on here from rewiring my 48 with some pictures of the dash.

Greetings connorat51 -   You have a very nice dash & chrome looks to be excellent condition, a excellent start!

    I was at this stage not all that long ago , unfortunately I hesitate to chime in on “what goes where “ b/c the RH drive  has me a bit disoriented ….. one thing I can confirm though is that the top half of the steering wheel column support/clamp must go on “BEFORE “ you install the speedometer gauge cluster…(please don’t ask how I know this !) ….. for ease of installation, this can be done now while you have the dash on the bench ….. the throttle & choke cables fit into the lower gauge cluster slots securing it to the dash at the bottom of unit while the high beam indicator “helps “ to secure the top position….. I put throttle cable below the starter button …… all this done on the bench will help to eliminate the amount of time you have spend practicing different Yoga positions crunched up under the dash (-;

I imagine the owner's manual would show you what the various switches do and you could infer their location? You probably don't have one but you may be able to buy one

While i can't help with your current reassembly. I just wanted to say it looks good. 

Also your instrument cluster threw me for a loop. I saw the 160 on the speedo and the 100 on the heat gage and it took me a few minutes to realize this was a UK car and it was in KPH and centigrade. I may have seen them before and it just didn't register. My first thought was Wow that's a fast car. LOL

Love your dash . Your car is a D 25  be careful when ordering parts always order P15 parts.

Don't ask how I know .

hi everyone managed to get the dash installed into the car but still missing a couple bits and havnt worked all the switches out yet. the chrome has all been replated which is why it looks as good. currently theres no front end on the car or engine or chassis so its a lot easier working under the bulkhead to get stuff done. it was a left hand drive car but we used a donor south african car with rhd parts.  still could do with pictures if anyone has any available. im pretty sure ive nailed the wiring harness though. all rewrapped in cloth tape. ill post more pictures of the build soon

[connorat51]

As promised. Some more pictures of how far I've got.
