What gauge is that tread plate? I am only saying as The leven dash is only 1.2mm thick with a much finer tread pattern? .

I made a template as well last week out if alloy, made it nice and shiny and then when I had a look at it outside the sun reflected back and almost blinded me!

So just be careful

Why have you got a dildo as your gear knob? Did you used to own a Griff?

I've got a CAD drawing of the 1993 dash if you want it? I used to to get some steel laser cut then used the textured di-noc carbon vinyl

I would get the steering wheels sorted ASAP...oh my days thats horrid!

Also I think that chequer plate you got is going to be too thick and also a mare to get the dials to fit nicely...good luck with it but I think you are going to have a struggle!
