Carbon Fibre Dash

Hi guys,
I'm after a carbon dash for my haynes. I made an mdf one but couldnt get a large enough radius on the bottom and I also lent on it and it broke. So i want to replace it with something decent.

I like the look of the mk one but I'm not sure if it will fit or not.

What are the other options out there??

I've had one made (and got the mould) for my GTS which is similar in style to the MK one, but based on the McSorely +442 chassis - supposedly 4 inches wider at the scuttle than standard locost chassis.

Happy to take some measurements if you're interested?

If you could that would be great. Also if you could get a pic?
Cheers, Steve

I made mine out of MDF and got the bottom radius by using 20mm radius plastic pipe, recessed into the MDF, from B&Q.

if you can make a plug of the shape you want making out of carbon then I can mould it and produce a composite replica





Kind regards
