Alloy dash wanted...

[Crystal-T]

I am thinking about changing the wood dash and trim for the alloy version.

Is this very complex and costly and does anyone have any recommendations where I could go to get it done. I live in South Herts but am prepared to travel a reasonable distance if it's the right thing to do.

Thanks.

Been told its a bitch of a job.

Yep only TVR could make you drain the coolant and remove the temp sensor just to change the dashboard. Oh and you're likely to break it in the process so you'll have to buy a new one or have it repaired.

I bought one off ebay. Dismantled dash to only find the coolant guage needs to be removed from the underneath of the engine and through the baulk head! TVR charge 8hrs to do the job! So the inexpensive alloy dash plate now costs a small fortune to fit. I`m in the process of getting a few brushed steel ones made up with a vertical split down the middle, so it`ll slot straight in. I`ll advertise them on here when they`re ready.

Yuk! I hadn't appreciated how much time and cost was involved. I'm interested in what you're manufacturing so would you mind keeping me posted?
