Dash Radius

The bottom edge of the dash, where your legs might contact, especially in an accident, needs to be a minimum of 19mm.

It means that the bottom edge of the dash has to be curved and the radius of that curve must be no less than 19mm.

Roughly the same as a broom handle.

You can buy GRP SVA dashes for as little as 10 pounds over there if you look around, and as little as 89 pounds for a CF one. Seems to be a good cost/benefit to me!
