that looks superb!!! quick question what did you use to bond the countersunk screws into your dash?
I'm just about to sort out the countersunk scews so your post is very well timed.
If mine turns out half as impressive as yours looks i'll be really happy with the result.

well i started by making over sized holes. drilled them standard 4mm but then went nuts with the countersinking bit. making the holes larger sinks the
heads a little more and allows a bit of space for glue underneath the vinyl. Then i superglued the screws in just to hold them lightly. After that i
gave them a good go with epoxy resin. theyre pretty solid. mum did manage to break one but i havent had any troubles and ive had to put the dash on
and remove it to make adjustments a number of times.
cheers

You've done a really good job here, you should be proud! I actually love the way the dials look with the bare ali.

had thought about leaving it like that but worried about glare from the dash and id have also needed to edge it somehow or spend ages trying to make
the top edge as smooth as possible
