I dont think a top dash rail is standard fitment with a centre bannacle. My 75 Austin 1000 just had the steel rail with the ashtray and I never had a problem seeing the speedo.

And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

Center clocks were never fitted with top dash rail. If you remove the top dash rail you will have several holes, the easiest thing to do would be to cover the top rail in leather like the coopers and hornets.
