Thanks Chris!
Had to man up and get the real power tools out this weekend. I've done a bit of grinding, drilling, and welding here and there, and whipped the jigsaw out to make a start on the dash: |

Looking good skov. How are you changing the speedo drive from cable to electric? I like the instruments you have chosen.

Oooh, that's a bit politically incorrect
I'm planning to keep the dash nice and simple. The only additional things I'm going to add are hazard and rear fog switches. The clocks have all the tell-tale lights I need build into them, and they have a couple of little LCDs which I'm hoping I can use to display anything else I might want. |

Sorry I meant to say Southall.
So if the clocks have all the lights in ie highbeam,oil,indicators and ignition they would meet the iva standards ????. Seems like the way to go, thats a lot of stuff not to have to mount. Bob

They should meet IVA standards, they're all the right picograms and colours and presumably passed type approval in the mini, so hopefully I'll be ok!
The only thing it's missing is a rear fog tell-tale, but I'm hoping I can use a switch with that built in. |

Hi skov just read your thread from start to finish, what a brilliant job so far.
I'm a new member I have just bought a part built chassis which I'm going to alter so as I can use an MX5 donor, been reading lots about it and would love to build one half as good as yours. Keep up the good work Regards Mick. |
