Hi Stuart,

Down to personal choice I guess but for me I would definately stick with similar to what you already have. I think it would look too bulky and just wrong to the top of the aero screen.

Mart.

Good luck with the new dash build. What koso are you going for and what engine do you have? There are some incompatabilities. For example I have an 893 blade engine and a koso rx1n and they don't like each other much.

I was going to say... it wouldn't come to the top of the aeroscreen, assuming the screen overlaps the cabin a bit. I think Jacko's dash looks quite neat like that - if you make a one piece dash it would give a smooth finish right the way up to the screen.

You could make the basic dash big enough to fill the gap then put it in place to see how it looks. If you don't like it you can then cut it down.

Hi the filler bit that goes up under the aero screen is 14g alloy covered in leatherette and trapped behind the original dash it stops the screen flexing too

your dash

probably a good idea to move gear leaver back will give you more scope with your dash design vin.
However i had a prob with the separation on my indicators, i just noticed you have yours mounted on the end of your light bars. problem solved Cheers Stuart and you didn't need to type a thing .
