The instruments are VDO ones, they come with all the senders, the lights came from Car Builder Solutions. If you like the gauges, it's worth keeping an eye on the Westfield Club (WSCC) website, as they come up for sale on their forum from time to time. Mine were £150 from someone on there, with all senders, and had never been used, still in their boxes. Glad you like the dash. Cheers

That's great. I planned to do something similar after seeing the other one. Going to give us an idea how you did it? I thought I would do the two colours wrapped in thin ply and then fastened to a thicker solid bit of ply.

Pretty close! 6mm mdf, cut out the 'orange' sections, sanded down slightly to allow for the vinyl. Bought a roll mat for £2.99, used it to give a slightly padded feel, then covered all the seperate pieces, put back together again, then glued aluminium tabs on the back of the sections to tie them all together.

That is a seriously tidy piece of work and you have everyrighttobe very proud of it. I was going to do a simple dash with a lcd display but seeing what you've done has given me cause to think again. Well done!

very nice what have you used as a substrate ? ply fibreglass ?
thats what i get for not reading all the posts ! using mdf will it not absorb and retain moisture going soggy after a period of time i got a posh sink from b&q and having to cut a hole in the cabinet for waste it has swelled and warped with the moisture in the bathroom.

Monsterob,
The whole piece of mdf was given 2 coats of pva after all the holes were cut to make it watertight, before it was covered, it's a method that's used a lot, and I've never had one go bad yet! Cheers Adrian
