Dashboard Layout
Hi All,
I am doing a layout for the instruments on my dashboard.
I have individual Smiths instruments, Tacho, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel pressure + Sigma bike speedo with six warning lights and the
appropriate switches for wipers/heater fan/washers/headlights etc...
I am looking for digi photos of other peoples dashboards, to give me some idea of what looks best. I have pictures of the Cateringvan and Westfield
dash's so anyone got any others???? Please.
TIA
Justin

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

by that I mean 'sans serif' type.

Another approach can be found amongst my pictures - use the button under this text (or under the avatar, can't remember!)

Looking at the wooden dash further up, I though that under SVA rules they weren't allowed, along with wood rim steering wheels as they were made
of a material that could splinter. Am I mistaken? If so I could be tempted by a lump of dead tree.

there is nothing about wood in the sva (in my 2000 manual). There is however something about radius at bottom edge, which will be dealt with.
if its a problem, I could cover it with PVC - how many locosts have plastic covered wooden dash boars that would shatter thro the pvc cloth - loads I
recon.
The big however - Its thin veneer over MDF - MDF is just dust and glue and dont splinter!
