Pollywog Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'm looking at putting a full Defender dashboard assembly into a Series 3 Lightweight but need a measurement to see if it will fit. I already have a Defender steering column & surround fitted when I went to PAS but I fitted it to suit my driving position and wonder if it may be too close to the bulkhead to allow a full standard dash to be fitted behind it. Could someone be so kind as to measure the depth of the lower dash panel from the flat of the bulkhead to the front edge of the lower dash? I know the binnacle is the deepest part but that doesn't matter as I'll be building in a Discovery cluster flush with the front of the dash. Thanks very much in advance.

Kimberly Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If someone doesn't beat me to it I'll go measure it shortly, do you need any other measurements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollywog Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks, no I think I can work around everything else it's just that one measurement that will tell me if it's possible or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It's 6" oh and it's an older style td5 dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollywog Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thank you very much Kimberly you're a great help. Unfortunately that would put my ignition barrel behind the dashboard... oh well homemade it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
