Dash board




when the kit was ordered, every thing seems to work well on it apart from the dash that wesfield supply with the kit to fit the mazda clocks, now a kit car needs a nice dash and in my opinion they do not come much nicer than a carbon mods carbon dash, ( the carbon fever has started )

i also going to offset the carbon with some Savage stainless steel switches that illuminate blue, an expensive option but its one of the main parts of the car i think it will certainly be money well spend, also gauges have been ordered and should be delivered this week i hope as long as the snow doesn't hamper Mr postie for too long,

now there is some questioning as to will the dash pass the IVA test as it does not have the correct radius on the bottom edge, now some people have not had a problem and some people have and i think a lot of it depends on which VOSA test station you take it too, now Adam Reeves has also fitted the same dash to his car and i hoping to see what happens to his when he takes his for IVA before fitting the dash.

Now if it doesnt pass i will make myself a dash up at work with the correct radius on it and then cover it in vinyl for the IVA then come home and fit the carbon one once its passed .

i also need to track down a crash pad for the dash, as this will be a permenant fixture on both dashboards, but i refuse to pay westfield for one!!
