Finished Dashboard

I'm now on to the final run in to IVA, so I'm doing final fits. Exhaust maker booked for three weeks time and then off to IVA. This is my finished dashboard - quite pleased with the way that its turned out. ETB gauges by they way.

Looking good.

Are you using the steering wheel horn push?if so you might need to put the horn symbol on for iva.

Very smart! The ETB gauges always look good IMHO.

Should be on the road at exactly the right time of year too.

are you sure you have enough radius on the underside of the dashboard it looks a bit borderline, mine failed with a very similar style layout.

I'm not using the steering wheel horn push, I've installed a Savage one (you can just see it to the right of the steering wheel)

wrt the radius of the bottom of the dash, I've used 20mm radius plastic pipe, slotted and recessed into the MDF and then covered with two layers of material, so should be well over the 19mm requirement. There is a strip of plywood (about 1" cross section) glued to the back of the MDF that the pipe is screwed onto for extra strength.

Good comments though. I'll do the usual picture hungry post after the exhaust has been fitter as a pre-IVA check.
