I have some similar carbon fibre for my clocks as you. I need it as ive modded the binacle for a different rev counter. How did you cut the carbon out to get a neat finish. The indicator light cut outs look tricky lol.

The holes will be made bigger so i have some adjustment with the light as it was hard to get it in the right place and weld it.

Dave just trying something different, can't fault him on that. Whats GAY is having a car that looks the same as every other in its marque...

But then you'd know


Can't wait to see it properly Dave
