Dashboard blanks

[MikeB]

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?

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.

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.
