Dash

[Pete&Matt]

Does anybody have any piccys of how they have mounted their dash? We are using a Furry dash which is very similar, but have no mountings etc for it and they were a little vague about the fitting of it! What we really dont want is screws etc showing on the dash facia! Kind of have an idea of what we want to do! Just be nice to see what others have done!

Cheers

It depends what you use , it doesn't need to be ugly screws . Make yourself about 4 alloy 90 degree brackets , f/glass them onto the front edge with ready mix f/glass ---- one at each end then two more spaced along the front , more if you like . If you use 2mm gauge you'll be able to bend it to adjust the final position to support the dash. Drill the dash in the 4 positions of your brackets -- mark through the hole with tipex , drill , rivnut ---- use nice little stainless domeheads -- job done
One tip I'll give you though ------- I did mine before the screen was in so they're tricky to undo . Make your 90 degree brackets about 3 inches long and rivnut at the very end ---- this way it'll be easier to fit and re-fit .
Doesn't seem a big deal BUT over the years I've had to get to my wiring many times --------- h'mmmmm

i bonded my top part of the dash board to the fibreglass just below the windscreen opening basically all the way around the front edge, then the face of the dash was fitted to the top using 6mm dome head allen bolts through into rivnuts on the vertical face of the dash. looks ok i think. you may see it in my build pictures under members and their cars on the front page of this website!
