Aliminium dashboard - finally got round to it ...

[MikeyT]

Looking at the veneer dropping off my Chim's dash – I'm determined to have a go myself as I have the tools etc - just gotta find the time, so ...

I'm looking for some aluminium sheet in the style of the pic below



Anybody know where i can get some?

I thnk it's the basketweave style ...

robkola has one on his car I think too.

Any help appreciated!

Edited to say: should I try the factory??

For the Aluminum i would try a local metal stockist thay mainly provide to big industrys but will sell to people on teh street at a premium.

Phone Leven and quote pattern 5WL and its actually in stainless steel, however having said that IMO they have a pattern called silver check that looks much more classy get them to send you a sample of that or even a colour tone version, what colours the car?

[MikeyT]

The Chim is Cooper Green Mel, and the dash is the only wooden bit in the car (apart from my leg).

IMO a classy ali dash will go with all the other Levn bits I have already.

I'll give Leven a ring tomorrow - might even pop in soon seeing as they are in Basildon - mind you that'll mean a trip to the mother-in-law

That's a very shiney gearknob in that picture ... is that a Leven item?

No that is not the Leven Gear Knob. We do offer a polished version of our shaped gear knob together with other options. Please see the web site for more information.

Sorry to bring this thread to the top again - but this is the one - corect pattern, everything - but from where?

Would the factory sell me a sheet?



Edited to say can anyone see the pattern? Didn't realise the pic was so small ... the car is in the ads section.
