My friend recently got this Tiger moth panel but he couldnt find anything like it online? He wants to know what guages he needs and would like to see a pic of this panel in complete condition. I did a search online but the only panels I can find show a compass fitted in the lower middle position.

Here is a link to an 82-C, the shape of the panel looks the same but yours has a few extra instruments added.
Only two extra intrument compared to the DHC Dwg 1979 that replaces DWG 1486. And one of thoose is shown as an option of a clock on the upper far right, the one below it seems to be a hole cut for a modern Altimeter. Trust me Its a 82c, i reconise it, ive flown one, ive got the drawing infront of me!! As for it not being the same as the one in the link, i have 4 82a intrument panels in my workshop at the moment, every one is slightly different, and not one is to the original drawing.
And as for, “its got to many instruments for a 82a” thats because its an 82c;) which is very different to a 82a in many ways, incuding how it flies!

Far too many instruments for a DH-82A. At least two slots have a caging knob slot and if you know the Tiger vacuum system…………….
Cabin Moth [Puss or Leopard] with tandem seating is certainly a possibility, but those caging knobs….dunno?:confused:
G’day 😉

Blue Max is probably right (he usually is) in saying a Canadian Tiger, but it also looks rather similar to that in a “cabin” Moth like a DH85 Leopard Moth.
It least this might give you an idea of the types of instruments that woud be fitted.

Looks like an 82c panel to me:)
