Triton Carbon Dash!!
Got my carbon dash yesterday from Triton (Mark).
What can I say, absolutely superb job!!!!!!!
Everybody should buy one!! The mould it came out of must be like glass as the finish is just awesome, and now puts to shame the grp of the rest of the
car!!!!!
I'll post a piccy asap, but my NTL internet is down at home at the mo so I can't!
I know Mark is struggling to fit everything into the day at the moment, but if the dash is anything to go by, it's worth being patient!!!!
Absolutely super job, thanks!
PS shouldn't say this on here but think your prices would stand a tweak in the up direction Mark, you can't be making a lot on this stuff
and you should be.

Hi Nat,
Glad you like it mate.
I had to up the seats a tad to cover price hike in materials not too mention carrier costs getting silly.

Get a piccie or two up! 
When the time comes around, I'll be ordering a pair of roll edged high backed smoothies.
P.S. What's the easiest way to have a sit in some of your seats Mark? I'm in the South West, any chance you're going to any shows in
the near future?

Poor bloke - not enough hours in the days for him.
Aren't there any elves in Cornwall ?
I double what NS Dev said on quality and prices.
Rumour has it he may be making 9" arches soon for all us Escort Axle-ers as well.

Dragons are ok though as they can warm the air and cure the glass quicker!

Here is the prototype that Mark made at least a year ago - I've only just started trimming it in light of collecting my car tomorrow with its new
exhaust now made!
(pics of exhaust will follow in due course )

PS ignore the big manta steering wheel, it's going this week in favour of something smaller!
Note the minimal approach! The two Peugeot switches on the centre of the dash are the lot for switchgear, the rest is all on the single stalk.
No instruments, there's a sequential shift light which will sit on top of the scuttle and a 7 LED warning array following the steering wheel
radius (but a bit bigger obviously so you can see it!) which is yet to fit, Clive (Custom Solutions, the chap I keep mentioning on here!) is doing it
for me in satin black anodised ally with the details engraved though to the silver underneath for clarity. The LED's have nice black anodised
ally bezels as well so it all looks tidy.
Will post another pic when it's fitted, got it drawn up at his unit on Sat afternoon, he's doing a stainless rad header pot, stainless
triple mastercyl ressy and a stainless fuel tank for me too, as well as tigging up my manifold.
