I've just taken delivery of a new dash made by Pete Wiggins, an alloy backing plate enabling the switches and warning lights to be bolted on, with a swirled aluminium front. I've yet to fit it, but it's a lovely piece of work, and no more buttons pushing through the dash!

That's what I thought! It'll be a bit later in the year before I fit it, but I reckon it'll look the dog's danglies.

Next up is a replacement bonnet stay, what are the alternatives out there anyone?

I can vouch for the quality of the 'Pete' dash, I have one in mine and it is a vasty superior product to the original and aftermarket offerings.

I reckon that will look ver nice installed. Mine had a factory turned dash and it looked good. Turned alloy or wood are the way to go IMO, but all down to personal preference of course!

Swirled works for me...............Google "Engine Turning"..........I like swirled better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, lovin' that interior lick spot on.
[I had very similar in my last Griffith with same dash]

Very nice, I had a wooden one made for my pre-cat by Pete, but when I got my car back from Central TVR after extensive work, they had upgraded me to a new dash, so probably will stick with that one now, as it is looking very nice.
