Thanks for your feedback chaps!
I've decided on design 1 and tonight's the night (as they say) I'm going to start cutting holes!
Watch this space for progress 
Cheers

Or something....... 
talking about weird - is it just me that thinks that design 1 reminds them of a Butterflly
In fact whilst I'm at it design 2 looks like the face of a deranged robot and design 5 looks like a pair of slightly odd feet ?
OK - need to lie down now

4 for me too.
I would prefer the speedo and rev counter above the steering column if there is room (Like a caterham)

No weirdos, just different tastes
Ideally I would put the speedo and tacho abbove the wheel as well, but there's not enough room for it.
My plan is to cut a large aperture in the plywood dash and make an ally panel to fit behind it. All the instruments and lights will be fitted to the
ally panel. This way they will be recessed and if I decide I don't like the layout I can make a new ally panel rather than a complete
dashboard.
Work starting at 3pm on the dot this afternoon

how much have you extended the gear lever backwards by?
there's no way i could get a dash that deep and still select 1st, 3rd, and 5th, and that's with the gear lever cut off below the rubber
damper, but in the standard position.
just a thought, but impartant if you've not fitted your lever yet.
i personally prefer design 4, but then that's very similar to my dash (i've got water temp over fuel)

Tom,
I haven't cut the lever down yet, but I have "cranked" it back a good way. I bent back it immediately above the rubber bush, then
bent it up again about half way along the shaft. I can get all the gears OK without banging my hand on the dash. It's not ideal, but it does
work OK.
I plan to fabricate a new lever eventually, but it works for the minute.
Cheers
Nick
