dash refurb

[andydw]

I'm about to buy an 02 Speed 6 Cerb and am going to get the somewhat tatty interior re-trimmed by TVR Power. Question is, can I also get refurbed steering wheel buttons, dash etc as well so it all looks new?

Does anyone make a carbon fibre dash panel? (the one in the car is steel and I'm not keen).

What other interior smartness is available (I know about Leven)

All ideas and suggestions gratefully received!

You can buy new button stickers from racetech (?).
The trimmers of choice are further north. DC Trimmers...?
You will need to get a carbon dash made for you. One or two people have done this. Carbon al might do it? Otherwise a fake one with the stick on stuff...?

I am in the process of making some carbon look ones from some quality 3mm ABS sheet (no crappy stick on sheet here!).

The results are really good, but I'm reluctant to fit it at the moment due the obstacle of a capillary water temp gauge that is a well known weak point.


The carbon look really suits the Cerb IMHO!

There is a quick way to fit them without removing the capiliary tube.

Here is my carbon dash I made.



I used a sheet of carbon and used the old dash as a template. Also made one for the heater controls. It was quite hard work but the results are good!

It looks great mark, having seen it in the flesh as it were. Unfortunately I have neither the time nor expertise to make one up myself, I wonder if anybody does, or would, make one?

The other option would be to just spray the steel plate black though that could look sh*te I fear

Is that to cut a slit in the top?
