Dash Dimensions

[V8OWNER]

Can anybody give me a couple of dimensions?! - Still saving for the body and Im trying to pre-empt some work..

steering column hole to bottom of dash:
steering column hole to top of dash:
steering column hole to beginning of dash curve to right:
distance from lower chassis rail to front of dash:
approximate angle from vertical:

If anybody can help (approx is fine) that would be great, I want to get some carbon fibre panels made up from some cad drawings i've done (microstation), but so far i've guesstimated the dimensions.

On that subject anybody recommend a UK supplier who can supply and cut for me? (otherwise ill go with Crafty's U.S supplier - cheers crafty)

Thanks guys,
G

Thanks for the offer crafty, ive come up with my own idea, any opinions gratefully accepted..!
Im currently working on the model just to ensure it all fits!



also - any ideas on where I can get it cut?!

Your steering wheel is off centre

Also, the buttons on the right are in the part that curves around towards the pillar.

There's also bars behind the dash to consider

Best to wait until you get the body and mock it all up with you sitting in there.
