Tidying up the interior

Gents,

I'd like to tidy up the interior a bit (Mainly to hide the frame work as the previous owner slipped with the mastic!).

Do any of you know where MK get the plastic they use from the trans tunnel panels from?



Thanks.

Cant you just try some thinners/solvent based substance to loosen the excess mastic and trim the large bits it off? Just becareful to try it against some inconspicous are of FG first.

Sorry to hi jack the thread, but where do you get the angle trim that is running up the transmission tunnel.

I used 1mm aluminium powdercoated black which imo looks far better than the plastic i was supplied. I also put polystyrene between the panels which makes it feel alot more solid.

It's called cope moulding no 11 and is exactly the same as MK supply.Yoiu can get the hockey stick trim from here

That's a pretty tidy interior already IMHO.

Rather than add excess weight, why not paint the inside of the side panels black.

Hi, looking to replace my dash and having seen the OP's can you advise on who made the dash, what it is made out of? (looks all shiny - plastic?)

Cheers.
