New Pete dash fitted
Discussion
Following on from Pete's dash thread I managed to get out and take some better photos. The fit and finish is brilliant and best of all I can press the switches without fear of them disappearing inside the dash and without the awful flex of the original.

Looking forward to seeing some pics of other owners with their new dashes fitted.
Very shiny, Pete said he used 7 coats of lacquer, and I can believe it...
Thanks again Pete, awesome product, combining clever design and craftmanship. I checked through my receipts and your superior dash was cheaper than the last replacement I had from one of the usual dash suppliers less than 4 years ago which had to come out 3 times to re-glue the buttons and has already cracked.

They look fantastic!!
If you are still planning on making some precat ones please count me in.
Cheers, Steve
Steve, I have a new list going for the next batch, your name is on it. I intend to start the next lot in the Autumn as I want the Summer free to enjoy my Griff. The dashboards are very time consuming so I need to plan in carefully.They look fantastic!!

I am also making a short run of swirled aluminium type dashboards (had three enquiries), same principle of laminated layers with mechanically fixing all done on back layer.
Regards, Pete

The wooden dash looks so much classier that the ali one. And l'm not being biast as l have an ali levern one already but would have wood anyday .
I personally prefer the wooden dash as well but I did very much like the turned ally version that came with my Griff originally. I almost made a decision to go back to it as I was getting bored of keep replacing cracked veneer dashboards, mine lives outside and is subjected to cold winters and hot summers so they do not last very long. I never had an issue with ally one. Pete's new design will hopefully resolve my cracked veneer issue.Gassing Station | Griffith | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
