Yeah, like it because it`s different without taking away the curves in the dash. I`d like to see that when it`s finished, thumbup

Hi All.
I still have the old dash, I got 2 with the car so hope it turns out ok, I just need to get some leather to match the seats. I have a guy who is going to do the leatherwork for me looking in his stock pile.

Hi.
Seat switches, I went for full electric heated seats from a Jag, I spent 2 weeks working out how to wire them into a loom even with the wiring diagram. one in the middle is for the boot lock.

You could try these people for leather

I haven't used them myself but they were very helpful when I was looking into doing my seats.

Cheers

Juding by the colour scheme, the two rotary switches to the right of the centre section.

You know you want to get it 'walnut-ed' really! biggrin

I though I was having a tough time trying to get 3 new rotary switches fitted to the massive holes the previous ones had but that is impressive.

Did you fill all the holes then re-cut the areas you wanted switches?

Hi.
I was down at Normans a few weeks back and his dash looks very nice, I have a few things I may change on the warning lights but walnut dash would be the dogs bits.
