Seemed little point in leaving these in place so I just smoothed it all out and neatened it all up.
Didn't seem to weaken the structure either. Certainly destroyed some hacksaw blades though!

Craig it just fits in with the rest of your Cob.

There are two ways to build these things, one is like yours and the other is how mine was built!

I know what you mean Martin, I wonder why the Dax Tech Forum has more post's than AK.

This has to be the longest running post now in Forum history.

43 pages so far and Andi hasn't been for the SVA yet. Lets see if we can break 100 pages of posts!

Only 11 pages on my comp.

[craggle]

I guess you can set the number of post per page then somehow?
I can only see 10 per page.

I'm off to search my user CP now.

Found it in "edit options" in my user CP

Only 11 pages now with 40 threads per page. May wear my mouse scroll wheel out though!

I also managed to give this thread a 5 star rating.

And you managed to fit all that in before your 15th polish.

[craggle]

May be taking the car out the garage tomorrow if it dosen't rain so the 15th polish will probably follow on Monday evening!

We're just being cautious, or maybe there are so many more Dax's around. I must admit if I hadn't found a part built one AK may just have won my business. That's nothing against Dax who have been extremely friendly and helpful.

A Hacksaw Craig!! PMF 180E Multi

So I need some slots between the holes to get cables through when the fully fitted dash is ready?

Andi.

PS How far out of the garage Craig?

[craggle]

I think it will be staying the garage today as it's raining here and feels rather cold.

I would remove a lot of the material between the holes. There will be wires linking all the gauges together and you don't want to be trying to thread these through small slots.

Nice tool that. I used a jigsaw and 4 blades as the fibreglass is rather abrasive.
