henk 12 Posted October 11 (edited) Bought some years ago a 110 that was involved in accident, so did a rebuild new chassis, new engine, new wings etc but only discovered later on that the driver hit the heater channel on the bulkhead with his knee and ruined it. 'warm' air arrived on the feet but nothing on the window. I found a dash with Bowy Odink with 3 cover plates So everything out The grey box is folded by hand in alu and connected to the blower. Two holes on top to go to the left and right part of the front window Later on I added 2 small holes at the sides that go to the left and right of the dash as demister for the windows in the doors A first presentation to see if everything fits The black box in the middle I found in Newbury, but the gearstick needs to be bent a bit A first mockup, position of speedo is due to the lack of depth because of the airtube behind Still using the original TD5 switches and the holder for them The blower is now via a pwm and works very good Some weeks later I found a double din radio with Carplay and input for front and rear camera so changed layout again Next step is to fit the tripmaster and some other stuff Edited October 11 by henk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynic-al 219 Posted October 11 You see to have put the steering wheel on the wrong side You also seem to have a lot of compressors and air lockers Looks really good work, dashboards are hard to do without looking bodged but thats tidy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anderzander 393 Posted October 13 I really like how easy that is to strip out and change or service. Having 3 panels like that is a great design 👍🏻 On 10/11/2019 at 12:10 PM, Cynic-al said: You also seem to have a lot of compressors and air lockers Is it an 8 wheeler ? 😮 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henk 12 Posted October 13 Position of the panels is maybe not 100%, but indeed 3 panels makes it a lot easier to access for example the wiper motor. I suggested to make new dash versions deeper at the top resulting in more vertical instruments but then you have more space for the window ventilation and more depth for double din radio and cb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atleast he's not overloading the axles IT was apparently (and quite obviously) a total pig, just wanting to go in a straight line all the time. Classic case of 'form' over function.

Cynic-al 219 Posted October 16 (edited) Maybe they decided he needed a little comfort? Still, if they enjoy building then why not, probably better than what I turn out What was the thread about again Edited October 16 by Cynic-al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cynic-al 219 Posted October 18 250 hours unpaid work for £660,000 is alright! A lady in our village got 100 hours for £30,000 benefit fraud and I thought that was good at £30 an hour after deductions. My Range Rover went down that way, think it was frome though. Maybe he could max extreeem it like I never could Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cynic-al 219 Posted October 21 We will have to compromise that anything between the M4 and Doncaster is the Midlands, where they have funny accents, strange pass times and extra toes. I think this will be where your satanic brooding is also based, as the folk north of Doncaster wouldn't entertain such nonsense, we don't have time between the ferreting, pigeon fancying and badger baiting.
