Mock-up of dashboard. Final layout (I hope) although the big hole required for the tacho might weaken the dash. Hmm... |

Another picture of the mock-up. After loking at all the variations that others have used, I decided to have the bottom edge of the dash straight accross so I had to cut some holes for the stalks to poke through. |

And... The actual dash in place. The machine turned ally was a bit of a bugger to cut. I dn't know what type of ally it is but it seemed very soft. Dissapointingly I found a scratch in the finish on one side despite the fact it was covered in a plastic film. |

Seat belt bar in place. Just need to get it welded in now. It's made from CDS tube. I found a program on the internet that produced a printout in PDF fomat of the notch profile. Just a matter of filing it to shape once I had stuck it on the end of the tube.. |

Modified with ex-ABS wiring and connector fitted plus I changed all the screws for stainless ones. The mounting bolts were AF!. Fifficult to see but I shaped the foot slightly using a flapweel so that it matched the curvature of the wing. |

Exhaust clamp used to mount the wing stay. I found that the 52mm ones that fitted the upright correctly didn't have enough thread to fit a nylock nut. So I bought some 55mm ones and squashed them slightly in the vice to make them fit. Also added some heat shrink to help grip the upright. Hopefully this will avoid the problem of the wing stay not staying in position when on the move. |

Difficult to see here but this is the underside of the wing. I boonded on two tiwrap bases with some body filler to tie the cable out of the way. |

Wing stay fitted and wiring for the torpedo in place. I use the wiring from the ABS of the donor car which is tough as old boots and has a waterproof connector. Coild have been designed for the job (well I suppose it was really) |

Wing fitted and torpedo light in place. Was it worth the effort - hmm. Well it would be easy for soemone else to do it now I have sorted out the wrinkles. |

Something else to polish.... |
