Default Dash Sizes

Below is a picture of a dash similar to the one i'm thinking of and want to make a prototype befoe hand.
as I have not done the chassis yet but have the scuttle I was wondering if people have dimensions similar to the ones i'm looking for.

Many Thanks

If you look at the link below, my dash is just that shape. I'm on holiday until Wednesday, but when I get home, I can take some measurements for you.

Cheers

Adrian

When I made my dash out of MDF. I just offered it up to the car and took some measurements. Made a cut then tried it back on the car. Repeated this until it fitted. Took half a day to make it. Your better off waiting until your ready to fit a dash

I went for a simple dashboard on my 442 chassis. Panel is 9mm Marine Ply and in the picture it only has a sealer coat on. Will eventually have about 7 coats of varnish sanded between layers for that glossy Jag look. A cubbyhole will be still be fitted.

BTW, the instruments are gold rimmed VDO Heritage Gold Series units with classic black on ivory faces
