Pic of ours in the photo archive. Its built up from sealed mdf with SVA 19mm rad on the bottom edges, covered with expanded vinyl. Fits behind the
flange on the scuttle with bow shaped trim piece covered in the same material to cover the scuttle flange. No fasteners show. Indicators are hidden
until lit.

For those that have seen my car this will/should make sense, for those that have not, you have to imagine
My dash is made from ply wood, covered in 1/2 foam and then vinyal over the top
the scuttle frame is about an inch inside the alui scuttle cover (ie the shiney bit that you see)
the dash is then placed into the void, and as it is slanted forward it stays there by its own device, on the sharp edge of the alui I have put some
fancy U shaped edgeing, that covers that sva unfriendley sharp edge. and also by magic (careful design) when the U edgeing is pushed into place the
dash board is clamped in fairly tight, there are no screws or fastenings holding the dash in place

Here's mine, slightly modified for SVA (digidash flush, central metal switched removed, black plumbers tubing used for bottom radius which
actually looks good and will be let after SVA)
BTW - beautiful job Hellfire.

The main clock cluster is mounted in ally then the mdf is going to be covered in black vinyl - bit of imagination required at the moment to visualise
it but it will look ok i think. the warning lights are going in the curved section mounted in the same way. isolator on the left and fuel and volt
meter on the right of the wheel.

Pic on archive. Set up works OK, but suspect MK2 will be tried soon as things change when you get on the road! Too busy trying to avoid everyone else
who now appear to be driving in slow motion to watch dials. Bigger shift light would be good, then forget rev counter, forget speedo as you will
always be over the limit.

sorry chaps, i didnt check my post, i just posted and ran! - had things to do. had a v. productive day today, was outside at 9.00 am drilling and
filing the holes in the ally for the dash, sanded the cut outs on the MDF dash blank, PVA'd the black vinyl onto it, then followd up with
painting the chassis (when the sun got round to it about 11.00), put pedal box back together on F27, fitted new top coilover mountings to the front
pair on my F27.
you have to make the most of this weather when you dont have a garage! Shame my long bank holiday weened is now over though

I got carbon fibre rolled at the bottom with 20mm dia roll.
Simple but quite effective and not bad for £20. Reused bike gauges (except fuel)
