New dash
Mash - 8/6/16 at 09:23 PM

Hi folks, I'm in the process of sorting out a new dash, got a good price on a carbon one from a member (thanks Marco), and had an old smiths speedo lying about, so decided to use that with the three racetech gauges that came on the existing dash and hopefully end up with a mix of old and new. Managed to get a matching (well nearly) rev counter from fleabay, and mocked it all up with a temporary plywood dash.

The switches (apart from the central toggle indicator) are temporary as well. any thoughts on the layout ?

I'm thinking a row of toggles below the three small dials......

Good traditional looking layout and I think a row of switches below the dial will complement it nicely. I assume the relay holder will be tucked away elsewhere and that the car has already passed its IVA.

there is a thread with loads of dash board photos might be worth a look: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=64223

Yes IVA already passed, some years ago, I'm tidying up/refurbishing.

Wiring is proving a challenge
