I was wondering if anyone has any ideas forthe best way to get the 19 degree endge on the bottom of the dashboard. I saw some 28mm foam pipe insulation out of B and Q and was wondering if fitted correctly and neatly this would do the job?

I cut a quarter segment out of the aforementioned pipe and packed it out on the back of the dash board so the bottom of the dash merged into the pipe.

You need to be careful here. The regulation is 19mm Radius. That is 38mm Diameter. I used 40mm diameter plastic kitchen / bath drainpipe.
I packed a shaped piece of wood tightly inside so that screws got some puchase when fastening it on. A few more pics in my archive under 'interior'.

I purchased a router bit and made the lower edge a lot thicker as my dash is made of ply which I have shaped and then covered it in ABS Carbon effect plastic

As per Steve Gough, I am using 40mm drainage pipe from B&Q. I have recessed the edge of the dashboard and then split the pipe so that I can get a flush fit. I glued wooden battons to the back of the dash so that I could put screws through the pipe, which I also glued. The white that you can see is filler just to make sure that I don't have any big holes so that when I glue the final vinyl sheet on top of it all I end up with a smooth finish. The whole lot will be sanded and I also need to drill holes for the instruments.

I will post a pic of the finised dash in due course, but that will be a while as I need to buy the instruments first.
