[symondo]

very pleased with myself for the transformation

before..

after

just to do the guages next, the lower dash will get done at somepoint, but its not high on the todo list

the gap between the socket and switches has been left for my phone. just need to finish cobbling together a magnetic phone holder and install navionics. since im inland im happy enough with a phone for navigation, i wont be going far enough to need a bonafide nav setup

also made up some smaller switch panels with light switches and usb sockets in the cabin, just waiting on parts in the post to finish them off.


oh and ive now a functioning horn following my previous thread

Nice improvement

If a compass nearby take care with magnetic holders. Might send you off course..

hmm never thought of that, the compass is up above the dials, i could use a suction cup, but i tried it and it didnt stick very well

i decided after posting this i should get off my backside and get the dials sorted, they are all now sat loose and the black section also trimmed. im going to freshen up the bezels and also clean the contacts before putting it all back together

 

[symondo]

sorted the dials last night ready to be re fitted

Also cleaned up all of the rear contacts, checked the bulbs just to tidy up the plugs in the dash itself and refit later if the weather plays nice
