Here we go again Thumbs up

After (David Warren / General Lee) made me my dash extension I feel it’s time I got it bonded onto my old fibreglass dash Thumbs up

Post #2780

Post #2782

Only bonded on at mo .....Trial fitted before filler external blend in and a little internal fibreglass support added Smile

Post #2785

David Warren / General Lee on here got the size and angle 100% and the thickness and quality amazing 10/10 Superman

Guess what I’ll be blending in later Whistle

Post #2787

Collected my dry sump spacer today that was polished and then Anodised blue to stop it oxidation of the cast alloy Thumbs up

Post #2788

The picture doesn’t do the Blue justice Whistle

Big thank you to David Warren for my Dash centre section that’s now angled towards the driver 90mm

After bonding it on two days ago ...today I strengthened it more by using fibreglass on the inside with West Coast system and used black dye in the epoxy ...including x3 layers of fibreglass cloth one on top of the other overlapping the other ....that should do the trick before filling and blending the outside tomorrow ready for A Re-Flock From Lee Egan / 3gan on here Thumbs up

Before I blend the sides on the outside I was just toying with ideas of gauges ...
This won’t happen but good to see LOL

I now want them all in one place visible easily....the centre console covers 2 inches of the bottom also and the top curves over so don’t want anything near the top

The old front I cut out is on the right in black

PS ...I’ve got a DTA digital dash but I don’t want it cluttered to much and I’m using it for RPM / sequential Gear number / lap time GPS / and a couple of other bits ....I’ll keep trying different ideas until I find the one I like Thumbs up

Post #2791

Scrap the dials in the dash ideal ...I’ve been talked out of it easily LOL

Sometimes you should think it but not say it and definitely not post a idea if your not sure about it LOL

WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!

Post #2792

Been a little busy in work and on my 2nd job on the Railway so I’ve not been able to spend as much time on the car as usual....
Anyway I’ve just used a purpose designed West Coast Epoxy roller to lay down the first coat of two possibly three thin layers of black dyed epoxy ...very impressed with the rollers and how the White fibreglass covers even with one coat ...if needed ?...I’ll lightly sand in between each coat ...hopefully I won’t need to Whistle

Big thank you Joep Thumbs up

I didn’t like the cold feel of Alloy and narrow top of my Sequential gear-lever in the picture below ....I miss the nylon ball which my Satchell shift had ...

Post #2798

So this one off got designed and I asked him to throw in a Maxi logo for good measure....it’s much longer than my Satchell one but has a good size top ....it’s being 3D printed in the next couple of days Thumbs up

This should feel a lot better and not be so cold as the feel of machined Alloy

Post #2799

Finally getting somewhere
All the black dye epoxy finished just need to get 3gan / Lee Egan to flock the dash now Thumbs up

The old dash clocks now has Carbon blank fitted

Everything feels much cosier now I’ve fitted David Warren / General Lees dash extension Big grin

Also changed the Fascia of the Cartek centre control panel to round Retro buttons with white piping instead of red with square buttons
