I NEED HELP!!

The car is almost there, booking the sva in the next few days as soon as the application comes........BUT........what advice can you give me of the making of the cover that goes behind the steering wheel to the dash that covers all the wires and indicator stalks. I just haven't got a clue..

use the one that came with the donor, and just cut it down......?

I'm going to make a fibre glass one and fix it to the dash from the inside. If you don;t want to mess about with making amould etc etc why not use a piece of black plastic drain pipe??

The black plastic one with my Sierra column wasn't long enough so I made an aluminium extension for it and self tappered it to the original bit. Never got round to painting it black though.

pete, just noticed you are a senior builder with 283 posts, when did it change? 250?

Used the original donor one, and profiled the dash to take the excess.

When my hair went grey I think
