A mate has very kindly offered to laser cut a Carbon dash for me. Does anybody out there have a cad file or summat that I could give him? I can read most file types on my system, I can then save it in the format he wants. I usually give him DXFs. Mine is a 96 Chimeara, but the path for any dash would help as I can edit it myself to match my dash. Many Thanks in advance.

Ask Dave Walters at Wattsons to digitise it for you he has a very special gadget for reverse engineering profiles.

Thanks, but was hoping to avoid taking the dashboard out and thus have the car off the road for ages as its my only car. If it comes to that, I can draw it myself. Will post a dxf of it on here if it comes to that.

Cheers anyways.

If you use it as a template can you post me the paper or cardboard model. I can get this into a DXF for you. You might be able to do it with the dash in place.
