Are you making a totally one-off dash surround or using the original then modifying it to fit this unit in ??
Looks quite a tasty piece. How come you went for this as opposed to the normal Stack dash people go for ?

Dash will be fitted like this:



I went for this dash cos i got the data logging facility, video overlay and other functions with full wiring, all sensors even a fuel level sender for less than the price of a stack

Very neat mate.
I thought it would be a cheaper unit than the stack, but wasn't sure and didn't want to insult you
Should look top when fitted.

No bother mate!
I got it through a group buy i was organising so was very cheap, cheaper than buying seperate clocks for tacho and speedo and then all the warning lights etc too.

fronts will be widened at the top, where it meets the bonnet.
They will distort too much if they are cut and welded any lower.

The front arches should be finished next week and then the bodyshop will extend the bumpers and fill in any gaps and smooth it all before spraying.
