Very clever way to solve the speedo cable / structural support brace interference issue Glen. A seemingly simple solution but not so simple to find.

So ... looking for things to do?? Well this idea will fall into the category of 'Gilding the Lilly', but here is a thought. The adapter ring around the speedometer looks good but a bit out of place / balance, when comparing it to the tachometer. Perhaps try to cover the ring with leather or better yet paint it with wrinkle paint to try and match the color and look of the leather?

Or, add a superfluous trim ring to the tachometer, to balance the symmetry of the ring around the speedometer?

Or, just leave it well enough alone and keep focused on getting the car up and running.

No matter what you decide, you have a beautiful and unique FIA that will be a thrill to drive and enjoy!
