Thumbs up Dashboard

Picked up my dashboard from Equinox today, had a nose around the moulds and bucks being made up. Daves done loads more since my last visit.

Scooped bonnet is done, Dash with glovebox is done, Boot panel and lid is done (that looks brilliant) with a box mounted inside.

Aeroscreens are done. All looking top notch quality.







In the pipeline... Nosecone with side bulges to cover wishbone mounts, Large bonnet scoop, Flat top csr front wings

I agree the stuff looks good but the nose will stop me placing an order permanently maybe you could give them the feedback ben would be interesting to see what they could come up with if they change the nose I could be sold was a bit worried about the demise of the saturn moulds but its good to see someone bring a fresh set to the market so soon

My only question is about the rear tub how is this attached does it require the bent rear tub tubes or is it a modification like the saturn stuff would be good to know so I can set up for it now rather than re do at a later stage

Dave, what don't you like about the Nosecone?

Equinox Dave is pretty much willing to do most things if it means orders.

If you could say what you'd like I can let him know.

He is already planning some bulges on the side to hide suspension mounts.

The rear tub is designed to fit over the top bent tube, but it doesn't need to be there. It can be fitted without any bent tubes

I dont like the shape of the Current nose it does lack the side bulges and they will make a huge difference to the appeal will watch with interest

Ask him about the opening for the oil cooler underneath as well while he`s at it. Then I might be an equinox buyer as well
