Default Mk II Dash Measurements

I am fabricating a dash panel for my MK. II carrier and need some help with the dimensions. Specifically, I need to know how high, long and wide it should be. I would also like to know roughly what the angles are. One looks to be about a 90. Thanks to the original poster of that picture, I can't remember where I got it.

Greg save yourself alot of work and speak with Doug Lavoie, he has laser cut some fantastic Repro's and may be able to supply you with one. he supplied me with the bezzle rings for my mk1 dash and the quality was fantastic.

cheers

Richie

Thanks for the suggestion Richie, I did consider that option. My father-in-law is in the fabrication business though and he's just itching to start building parts for my carrier. I could also use the dimensions for the fuel tanks if anyone has those handy. As well, I need to track down a proper carrier fuel gauge, a speedo and the other various buttons and switches that belong on that Mk. II panel. If anyone has any extras to sell drop me a line.
Thanks

Greg,
Go to the search and look up carrier dash. There is a thread in there at about page 2or 3 of the threads- look at My new Mk2 dash by Phill. There are pic`s of the repo dash and a number of hard parts to find.Also some numbers to contact.
The supplier of some of your parts are Brian Asbury and Dirk Leegwater, they can be found on this site. Brian has a list of parts for sale, and Dirk has a web site you can visit:http://www.lwdparts.com.
Hope this helps.
Doug
