Does anyone out there have a drawing of a Griffith dashboard? I'm looking for a .DXF, .DWG or similar - failing that, has anyone a cardboard or paper template I could have? There are so many 'after market' dashes out there I thought it'd be simple, but can't find one. I thought I had access to an old, cracked dash that I could use for measurements, but it's been binned. rolleyes

which models your Griff? mines a 92 one and the dash is hopefully coming out this week so I could maybe draw you a template unless anybody else can help out.

Coolio! Mine's a '92 too. That'd be great if you would please. thumbup I'm pretty sure the major dimensions have not changed anyway - when I say major dims I'm referring to the outline, speedo, tacho, etc. If anyone knows any different I'd be obliged.

I'm not being ungrateful for this kind offer, but if someone already has a CAD drawing, that'll make life easier still.

I believe there are certainly 3 different instrument manufacturers, and 2 different instrument sizes. Dont know if the early pair are similar sizes (IIRC Stewart Warner / ETB ~ could be wrong). Dont take anything for granted + the earlier ones are a bit trickier if recessed (and you want to kep them that way).

slight snag, I've just spoken to the garage and my dash won't be coming off until the 12th Feb, if you've still had no joy by then I'l be happy to do you a drawing then.

OK, thanks for letting me know.
As an aside; are you replacing/upgrading your dash or having some work done that necessitates removal?

Both, the dash needs to come off to fix some heater/electrical problems and as the dash has seen beter days I'm having it re-veneered while its off.
