Wavy Dash dials

[lee02]

Has anyone removed the dials from a wavy dash Tuscan?
I need to send my ÉCU to Paul Smith, he says he needs the dial pod to. Dan Taylor hasn’t removed one before, I’m a bit stuck.
It’s just the dials the ÉCU is out, any images or guidance would be gratefully received.

Further update, I managed it. The lower steering column cover is held on with 3 screws . There are crosses cut in the vinyl. The pod is the same as T350.
The method is: put your hand up behind the dials, remove the ribbon cables, above them you will find 5 bolts with 10mm nuts. There is just enough room to get a spanner in to loosen the nuts then spin them off by hand, lower and pull out the steering wheel and there is enough room to remove the dials.

It's a great relief to get them back on the road when parts have been away. Paul Smith did my door module last year and was a top man getting it fixed and back in double quick time.
I'm trying to remember who Dan Taylor worked for in Basildon before setting up?

Dan is a big part of TVR history, he has been around for a long time.
He served his apprenticeship at waldonway, larkfield. He has been involved in racing most of his career and was part of the tvr pit crew in lemans.
I know he also spent some time at leven before setting up on his own.
He’s a great guy and always willing to help out, when Karl Baker comes back to the uk he works out of Dan’s place.
He upgraded my alarm to the latest spec a couple of years ago.
No more putting the little stick in the dash, it works like a modern car the alarm fob just needs to be in the car.

Looks like Cath Mason made your pod Lee

Build number 1325 marked as well, on my old convertible the rear screen had to be re stitched as the cotton had rotted and at the base of the rear section there's a long fibreglass rod that fits through from one end to the other and even this had the build number marked on it, that marker pen would do well if auctioned

Leven, thanks Lee that was nagging me.
Only one interaction with him when I stopped using Castle TVR and remember him being really friendly and knowledgeable.
If I remember correctly it was the beginning of the end for Leven when he moved to Kent?
