Holyzeus Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 my uncle had a couple when we were kids, quality - at the time.... loads of wood if i remember right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I've been pondering this one too - I'll probably put the majority of the electrics in a ceiling-mounted panel but something to hold the speedo / warning lights would be worthwhile. Current best plan is just to fold up a bit of ally - that is unless I find a decent Series dash for not very many pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandyManLuke Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 In the process of building a centre console for my 90, to house the touchscreen and 4x 52mm gauges, also bring the fag lighter and RWW through into the new panel. It's 1/4" ply at the moment, might end up doing it in glass, depends how the first iteration comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I removed the claustophobic plastic bits from my SIII and fitted the switches to a simple panel in the centre plus a couple of instrument pods in the driver's line of sight.

jules Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I remember seeing years ago a S11 with a SD1 Dash Looked odd to say the very least he also had the V8 as well his excuse was due to the dials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I saw a Ninety which a chap had cut'n'shut a 300 Disco dash into - the cut was behind the clocks and it looked very neat actually.

siearl Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 That is a nice roof mount for the radio's you should see about marketing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrUcE Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Awsom. I have thought I bought doing that but my soft top connect to the windshield frame . It would have to mount to the windshield protection cage to look good. I love that though. Who else has any good original ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 My dash in the 130 was just so shabby I decided to tart it up with a new tread plate one. All fuses and relays were moved inside behind the new dash onto proper fuse/relay holders and the ECU lives in the new glove box. A few more guages and monitoring systems were also built into whilst it was in the fabrication stage. Make templates from card and sticky tape before finally transferring them over the the tread plate for initial cutting and welding. The Roof console is an ARB retail item bought off of Siggy a few years ago for 150 quid......they are close to 200 now from Deveon 4x4. The rear end of the 130 has also had the 100% checkerplate pimp over...but's it's just such practicle stuff and oh so easy to work with!

Mark Jenkins Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 That looks amazing Les! What is the grey panel material? Acrylic? Any more details on what you've done there? MJ Mine, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Mark, The front is just 4mm Acrylic sheet, hinged at the bottom so you just undo 2 screws at each end and the whole lot flips down for easy access, The sides are 15mm Ply just cut to shape the screws in the front hold it all tight so it dos'nt rattle, gap at each end are access for the air conditioning in the summer ( the flaps ) and thats it ! The red blingy fighter styleeeee switches are to switch power on to the Winch controls, on board air, and the ARB's all the fuses are on the left hand section to ease the fumbling if one pops The tilt dobry, ended up in the best place for it the bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Les - looks good you going to let Nick crew for you in yours next time?? Theres another thread on the d4x4 forum abotu dashboards at the moment, may worth looking there. Personally i use a MUD console only £50 or so, easy to fit, no rattles and looks great whilst being functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.I made mine out of Alloy for strength & light weight & then used stick on Kevlar sheets that your stick on & then heat up .They look very effective its is harder wearing than paint & you dont get the sun reflecting of the bare alloy I did the dash & centre consol etc .
