Series 1 interior restoration
I sort of disagree with others. I think that the original dash does have an affect on the potential sales price it is sort of like numbers matching engines. People with money paying high prices like the idea of saying “original”. Also I don’t feel like removing a dash is is the hard part of covering a dash. Removing all of the internals and replacing them is the time consuming part. I have done this to five early cars. We sent cracked dashes out to have the new covers done. $2000 and They came back looking new. If you are thinking about doing that why not cover it with the same leather you are having on the seats? Or purchase cracked dash and save your as is? Years could go by before your cracks. I personally have a 71 original dash in my car that cautiously care for. if it cracks later I will then do something with it. If you decide to go with the leather diamond patterns then save the vinyl pieces for the future. Just my two cents for thought. PS PM.

We're bringin' back the Flat Tops!
When I did my dash with LEDs the light rheostat did not allow dimming. If your bulbs are adjustable I would love to know where to find them. How ever mine are not so bright at night that I really need to adjust them. Nice looking dash!

Electronic fan relay
I don’t pretend to be all that informed about engine water temp. There are far more smarter guys here than me. I only throw offer my way as an option. reading what I could find here I liked the idea of using the temp at the block. My experience with my car is the temp gauge moves up to the center point when idling and then the fans kick on. While driving they do not turn on. However when I stop and turn off the engine they will often turn on after a minute or so and run till the block temp drops. I assume that air blowing over the engine helps cool. I don’t know if it is the optimal place but it works for me. 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.
