*** UP-DATE ***
Next challenge was the dials/dash set-up, the plan!
Rip apart the original part of the dash to mount on to the clocks, like so..
Bolted through like so, smoothed all the top half off to so it should look fairly tidy when its all covered up
Next, sourced some 150mm trunking lid from work, have other uses for this stuff in the future to, keep an eye out for the brake cooling
So added some cuts to allow it to bend & then had a quick trial
Then added some 6mm holes for the bracket to be fixed down too
Then got my custom plate to the right size, fitted the dials to it using 4mm screw & nuts, did a quick trial mount with it all thogether, took it all apart for filling & painting, then bolted it all back togehter, finnished piece :approve: - no £400+ dash needed here!
View from the drivers seat
Plan to cover the remainder of the dash/dial surrounds in some thing like black felt or some thing similar, door cards will be done in the same material too
Next job, hide the rest of the wirring & make some door cards, then the interior is pretty much done, then its onto the engine, power steering & aircon removal, not looking forward to that :dapprove:
