dash layout - opinions please...

Just planning the layout of my dash before I start cutting holes.

Instruments are ETB (thanks Vince for the Tacho!). Warning lamps will be from SVC although I may use a Bright 6 module.

Which layout looks best (I'm leaning towards the first one)?

Number one's getting top marks

How about as design 3, but the tell tales in a pyramid under the three dials - 4 across and 3 across underneath.

Just like mine was.

did think about that Pat, but I have a batten glued along the bottom edge on the inside (for adding the radius) so I can't go any lower.

Have you got any pics of your dash Pat?

Hi,

I like "bugger" (5)

IMHO warning lights need to be high up, where they will catch your eye.
Swap the oil light over to the right, it needs to be very visable.

If your going to pad out & vinyl cover, don't have the gauges too close.
It's easier to cover a wider gap.

Looking good.

Paul G

I like number 1 a lot but i'd put the indicator lights in the middle either side of oil/ignition lights.

Design 1. Simple and symmetrical.





A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.
