Dash Troubles
Crazy Jay - 9/3/05 at 08:34 PM

Hey every1, jus wondering is there any companies that sell dashes either CF or ali that fit the indy? Altho i wud like one that goes down in the middle to join the transmission tunnel, a la hellfire
(p.s. was gonna try to copy hellfire but it wud prob turn out shit, so takin the easy way out )

Dont MK do them ??

Darren @ GTS does "cut to fit" CF dashes now. But have raised pods for the gauges.. might not suit your ideas..

Pictures were posted a while ago i think

Cheers Ben i'll hav a look
Think MK only do the dashes that dont join at the transmission tunnel, but if any1 knows otherwise plz let me know

Not sure darrens go all the way down... tho i'm sure he'd beable to sort something out for you.

Jay,

Have a look at MK9R's website and photo archive as well - I think his dash joins the tunnel too.

If that's what you're after, why not ask them if they'll make you one? Might be good for them financially and good for you cosmetically

Oh $hite I never thought of that, I'll have to re-think the whole dash now!

Has any1 passed SVA with an R1 speedo? Cause looking at mine the rev counter bit sits out a good 15mm from the other side. I thought it had to be flush
