Team Idris Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 In the late 1980’s teenage me made a wooden dash panel to take extra switches. None came with the vehicle, but it had clearly been panelled out in the past. (Plenty of screw holes) This year I have been tarting it up a bit, so I have fabricated a new panel in 2mm aluminium. I also wanted the pocket on the right hand side back, so all is now in one auxiliary panel (mostly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 The underside with screw access holes and what it looked like before. Plus, I finally got it into a wire-bundle, so it comes out in one instead of dragging a rats nest behind it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Proper job! You could probably make a bob or few if you made a few extra panels and sold them on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Idris Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 SimonB I did wonder that? They aren’t to bad to assemble. Just made a glove-shelf one for the other side of the steering wheel. (Shelf never deep enough) SteveB the white speedo? Never figured out. I wondered if it was actually a ministry of defence thing? Assuming that it was a Morris minor or the likes was lazy thinking. Seen another military Landy with a white one this year. Arjan Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 The shelf extension worked okay. I made it square and the landrover shelf isn’t Also noticed that the door rubber had snapped. I guess it is the 1958 one? Anyhoo, turned around and parked ready to pull the gearbox and hunt for the rumbling bearing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveturnbull Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Very smart. You'll be glad you took the effort to radius the bottom edge of those the first time you smack you knee on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 That’s what I was thinking It’s only better, as well as continuing a theme of the front wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
