Re: NEW Dashboards for Type 3
Hi ALL,
The prototype dash is finally here......
As can be seen from the photo, all looks perfect.
BUT...... .....we have a small web between the 3 gauge bosses. as can be seen from the photo.
This will be repaired on the mould as well as small bumps on the mounting line, so all will be well.
Please note the edge has not been trimmed, but this can be done. Please let me know how you would like the dash to be, trimmed or untrimmed. WHY you all ask at once, I hear, ..... Well if it is untrimmed, you can fit bigger or smaller clocks in, leave sections on to cover spots that will be exposed otherwise, or to cover the vent holes that you have removed, or have not got....
Just an extra bonus, I have also had NEW boot trim made for the type 3 that have type 4 motors. ...
Have a LOOK at this......
Well let me know as the shop needs to know how many must not be trimmed.
O!! YES !! you may fit the new dash over your old one, if you so wish, then the original dash will stay with the car for future use......
Or you can foam the new dash in place. HOW's THAT !!!!!!

Re: NEW Dashboards for Type 3
That does look pretty darn good from here. Would like to see one "in the plastic" .
When and where can we view ?
If it's as good close-up, then my order is firm.
Well done to you sir!

Re: NEW Dashboards for Type 3
We will be doing small changes to mould this next week, get rid of the unwanted ribs between clocks, and make a trimming jig.
Also checking dimensions, and "car fit", I will be trimming this prototype by hand, and fitting to the car to ensure no non-alignments, unfortunately, my clock chrome beading is in for re-chroming, so fitting clocks will be acquit.
Must say, the dash did come out great, THANK YOU.

OK Frank, but I would need the money up front - and it wouldn't be R1000................Dutch_Diver wrote:I have to say, amazing work! Love to see Barry turn one from metal though?
Retrovan, really nice work on the dashes!!
Are you likely to do another run in future? And would you want to have them featured in a magazine? Let me know.
Even better, let me know of a good Type 3 to feature with one of these in!!
