Carbon Fibre Instrument Panel

[Halcyon Daze]

Can anyone advise where I might get (or have made) a carbon fibre instrument and heater panel for a 500. If so, any idea's on price.

Thanks

Speak to Tim at ACT. I think he quoted me something like £150 to have the old backing panels covered and laquered. He'll be doing mine at some point.

Thanks for the response 2Munkys

i have had a couple made for the griff im restoring, one i put in as a temp measure..but having another made now in black with slight green weave..to match the reflex charcol exterior(when it eventualy gets done)

the guy i used is from gunnislake and charged £60 each.

you can pick the colours of the weave etc and thickness.

I made my own out of CF for about £100. That was a while back now and with ACT ones for £150 i would
bother with the hassle now and would just buy one of his. Great prices there.
There are variants in Dash and heater panels so make sure your not left with too many holes...or not enough but then you could always drill in another

Many thanks they both look super and definitely a viable alternative to normal run of the mill wood thanks

Chuff me. I love the wooden dash on my Griff and certainly wouldn't swap it, but that looks shit-hot Simon. I've seen your car loads of times but never seen those wooden dash pictures. Boy what a difference. The clocks look 100% better on a CF background too. Nice job

bit far from you but Hexham Horseless Carriages have had a carbon dash in the showroom for as long as i can remember been in a glass cabinet with other bits and pieces Leven stuff etc no price on it give them a ring you never know might get a bargain .

[Halcyon Daze]

Thanks, I'll give them a call.

As you have 2, did you get them made without having to use the existing dash?

Cheers

I've posted this picture before - but its always nice for me to see my handiwork again !!!
Made a blank out of 5mm plywood and then glued some 1mm carbon fibre on top.
Also took the opportunity to change the layout, fit new LEDs and some very nice aluminium buttons and a Tuscan air vent.



if you've got any questions give me a shout
cheers Andy
