Must Dash Off!

[gaz 7404]

Im wanting to take that lovely silver facia part of the dash (bit where boost guage and start button are) off and wondered if anyone had done this before and how to? Is it an easy task? Cheers fellow noblers. Gaz.

Horrible, horrible job. Nuts on the back of it so it's lie with your head in the footwell whilst trying to push your arm up to the back of the plate.

Yeah, and it's a bloody nightmare. All bolted up from the inside. Mine is still not back in fully as I'm getting a new one made to carry more gauges. I'll see if I can get it back off sometime next week and post you a pic of the back of it if that's any help?

Others will advise on the technique but I understand it is not easy at all - prepare for skinned knuckles

Oh bu*ger! Pics would be good if you get chance, cheers Mike. Grazed knuckles are all part of the fun! just ask Simon (TUXMAN)

I want to change this to a full length Carbon Fibre (dry if poss) one as part of my revamp of the interior,but as of yet don't think I've seen any one doing these yet ??

Go and see Reverie, they're just down the road from you

If there is a template you want to use for the full length version I will get one made. We can also look and see if there is a more accessible fitment method.

Didn't Alex have something on the pipeline for this?

I do. Still a work in progress I am afraid ( slow progress, as lots going on at the mo.)
I have a couple of spare original metal facias if you want will take a photo and post up in a bit.

Hey Gaz leave my Grazed knuckles out of it !! looks like we will have matching hands !!....perhaps we should call it Noble knuckles syndrome !!!

[Mike Tuckwood]

Sorry it took so long to get the pictures up, hope they're still of some use?

I've looked on the web site and can't find anything along those lines ?

Here are some good pictures of the dash as it is removed.

Just put this info on noble parts for future info. Great stuff

Very useful photos Craig! Has anyone considered re-engineering the nut/bolt fixings with something more modern (eg: quick release-push/pull type)?

I seem to remember Owen had bolts on the outside as he just couldn't face doing the job ever again....

[daddysumo]

If any one has a spare I could use as a template I would be rather grateful !

Its got to be easy to re-engineer. With plastic pop in studs this would be relatively easy.
