cheers Doug.

Phil Dirk leegwater has them i think, if not should a Mk1 suffice i can use mine as a pattern and send it to my local fabricators for you, would not weigh much to send over to you if you get super stuck

I didn't know about this thread.... ohhh that reproduction dash is a work of art. How is it cut from the steel at the fab shop, looks to be very accurate?

It is done with a Lazer cutter that is within .002". It is as accurate as the CAD drawing that the process follows.The fab`d parts are a great alternative to the origionals that are now very hard to find. As you may know, buying one of, with this process is expensive, but buying in muiltipuls is the way to go if you can.
Thanks,
Doug
