After a busy weekend .....



Dash


Dash awaiting padding........

Very nice!

Look foward to seeing it with covering on it...



Im so not looking forward to making mine sometime in the next few weeks...

looks good that mate

You may know this but when you pad the dash its good to glue to foam to the dash but not glue the vinyl to the foam- just secure it at the back. This helps prevent any wrinkles from forming

Thanks for the tip....

I am a little worried about when i snip darts into the overhang that it may cause rips to run round to the front?

I have now glued rubber tubing along the bottom edge and intend to pad and cover over the top of that to give the required radius/softness....

I deduce that
a) you are quite tall
b) have forearms like popeye.

6'3" and a quick rack fitted........

I needed the 10" wheel or my legs won't go underneath!

Hey Dave,
You have some problem with your alternator, engine is running at 1800 rpm and alternator do not charge

BTW I like you dash

Gauges are teleflex from haneline in California.
(there was a thread all about them a while back)

I noticed the rev counter appeared to be reading 1800 rpm... I am hoping that will sort itself out when it is wired in and isn't bust

Also - indicator stalk will be shortened so it does not block the view

Hey Dave,
your rev counter is ok, I have one similar in my boat, when you supply it , it will go ok. And when you will turn engine off it will still show for example 800 rpm until you turn key on (mine do in this way).

Great that's what i had hoped

cheers

Dave, another tip. Bring the vinyl material inside the night before and leave it in a nice warm place. Airing cupboard or near a radiator. It will help with the stretch and will stop and wrinkles forming. Its the same technique as when fitting a vinyl roof, always wait until a nice warm sunny day so that everything is supple. hth

Had a go at the covering last night... results weren't bad but I may strip it off and try again depending on how it looks when i get home tonight.......

I have worked out the dials and warning lights so that's not too bad but spent an hour last night working out the light and fog switches. problem is it bears no greta resemblance to Tigers wiring diagram and all the ifo available only tells me tat 'these 5 wires' are for the light switch... or whatever... so having to try and trace each wire to work out if it is main/dip/earth etc....

Still it wouldn't be fun if it was simple would it?
