MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Dash layout

I am rebuilding my early frogeye which I purchased in bits. Can anyone give me a layout of the dash I have got all the holes and switches but what goes where? Thanks
P B Chappell

I seem to recollect that Nick "Cherry Scoop" did a beautiful little sketch of the Frogeye dash layout - if he did, it's not on his website.

He may be along later.

Hopefully Moss UK has the correct layout for RHD.

I think this is from OS+M.
I might have drawn my dash once, but I can't find it.

Wipers and heater either side of the ignition, and starter behind the steering wheel on the top left quadrant.
