dash again

[V8Dom]

ok.
Im looking at redoing my dash .

ive a few questions.

Has anyone recovered the dash in situ?
by using stalks for indicators and lights, have you had to extend the steering cololm?

is there a preferred look... mine is a factory built car and don't want to go too far over board so looking at something like Luckyp dash or even looking at rev/speedo like this http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/rx2n-10k-rpm-mult...

what do you guys think?

[V8Dom]

the idea behind the koso unit is getting something like this by adding a couple of digital dispays each side








but Pete your dash is still the one I like, how ever with the t style warnings from Dtweek..

the only part im really worried about is recovering the dash in situ with screen in as the older cars like mine the roll cage is close to the dash to get covering on?

And yes guys your opinion is important as one day ill have to sell her and the dash is the one part of the car you see every time you drive the car..

matter of interest pet the photo I found of your dash did it have blue; led back lights as they look blue

[V8Dom]

also does anyone know the dash covering costs.. all the prices have gone on the factory website?
thanks dom

I was thinking Paul of making a flat template first covering it and sliding into place at the angle of screen to dash is shallow so new dash will sit in the angle?

I do like your dash Pete (apart from the picture of the ugly guy scratching his chin!!!).

I wish I had used larger gauges or LCD display for the fuel, temp, oil pressure, etc. but I have a cunning plan!

Now I have finished the engine buck for "Thor" I need to make a start on the repairs/mods on my Ultima ready for the better weather. Trouble is I have a list of other chores to do too.

don't tell me Paul, you are going to get a photo of yourself, scratching your chin too.....
