Norman Verona Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 James, don't disappoint me, your dash is walnut finished, it is, isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I wish Norman.... my dash is black with smiths dials, low oil light (massive orange one), Omex Shift up light, and a various centre console of switches that I can never remember what they do.... I would do a dash but it would need to be weight saving..... i'll see what wood I have in the shed....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgey Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'll show mine after xmas - a good source informs me I might well be getting a Shift-i gear change light strip.... Norman - I know why you have your dials "rotated" but it still makes me turn my head sideways and feel like I'm on a boat :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User0083 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The dash thread is legendary... Heard about it... But curious to how it achieved this status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Oh, how easy is it to cut the holes in a carbon dash? I'm worried about making a hash of it! Feck me man yer in the Army, get it on the ranges, think about it 2" holes for dials, get a 2" mortar line it up well and BANG at that velocity it'll go straight through with a nice clean cut Anyway here's mine. And here's a work in progress pic. Note the secret fixings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meakin Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I know people will take the p***, but mine is made of wood. The original had no chance of passing the IVA from 6 foot away, my dad is a retired carpenter and I liked the look of it (suits my car IMHO) http://paulmeakin.webs.com/photos/undefined/DSC00282Small.jpg Pre carpets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
