They take too long.
Although cnc'd, it is the welding that takes time.
plus everyone will want different holes and housing shapes etc.
Originally I was going to get molds made and do the dash in carbon.

looking very good.

one thing, are you going to sva it? removedbale wheels need to have something to stop them being removed while the car is in use (eg raidhp on needs a key to remove it, fix that key to your ignition key and its not pissble to remove it while car is in use.)

Not true. I have asked this already at sva of the F1-2. It passed no problem.

Now that is sexy, I think I have just soiled myself

I think that with all the work that's gone into the dash, it seems a shame to just stick a Veypour to the steering wheel - seems somehow out of sync with the rest of the build.

IMHO of course - I would probably use selotape ;P

The switches, fia switches have to go somewhere, so I designed the dash so that everything is inside of the 127mm projection rule.
When you sit in the car, everything can be seen, even the gauges, which can be viewed through the wheel.
If I added the veypor to the dash then the buttons on the lap timer/program changes etc would be further away.
I can hit a lap button with either thumb.
Apart from indicators and horn, most of the time my hands do not need to leave the wheel.
