Default Dashboard blanks

Has anyone bought a dashboard blank that fit our roadsters? I using the AGM bodywork but the width would be the same for all our builds.
Thanks

Give Alan Whitehead a ring. He is working on one at the moment to fit the AGM kit. He was hoping to have it ready for next week along with a aeroscreen that will fit the kit (similar to the saturn one).

I am going down there on Friday to get my bodykit and will see if I can take any pictures etc.

How is your build coming along?

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Hi,

Although the width is the same there are differences in the design that may make a difference. I've only really seen 3 pre made ones.

The Equinox one which will likely only fit an Equinox scuttle properly as it has a recess molded into it so the dash they do will fit this recess.

The flat ebay one with the IVA curve on the bottom. I tried to buy one of these but it never turned up and the user is no longer on ebay

That leaves the one that Louthy has on ebay ( looks like its the same one as Gillham provide )



That one should fit any scuttle but looking at the radius on the bottom I'm not sure it meets 19mm radius so may have to be foam covered.

I ended up making my own from leftover aluminium sheet with the 19mm radius on the bottom.



Cheers
Stot

I have a dash and bubble aeroscreen from Aerodynamix. The aeroscreen looks like it'll fit both the SSC/Gillham and AGM scuttles, the dash will fit the SSC scuttle. You can get them in either GRP or CF.

I've got a Saturn one that IMO isn't great.
It's about 5mm too short and although it has a curve on the bottom I feel do iva it should return rather than just stop at 90deg to the face.
I'm going to make an mdf one for iva then change after it.
