RE: Dash - Wooden or Fibre Glass

I have a wooden dash in my car that has passed SVA. With the ETB dials supplied by Pilgrim, I made a cover to fity over the dials as the edges were not SVA compliant. This padded cover was deep enough to give the dials a recessed look and was simply stuck to the dash with double sided pads.

The lower edge of the dash must be radiused to 19mm, easily done with a router.

If you want to hide you fixing screws, simply glue it to a thin piece of plywood, with the screws fitted into the plywood (I used fibreglass resin to hold mine in place). The screw heads will then be hidden between the two.

Cheers,
Tony B
