Looking at Twinturbo's measurement of the dash connection, I see that the image resolution of CJH's connector board is not the same as that of the main board. Here are my measurements of the connector board in millimeters:

Happy to provide any files. I used jlc PCB to produce the PCBs and was very happy with the price and quality. I don't know how they do it for the prices they charge!!

Re: Dashboard PCB Replacement (CJH Design)
Great post, James. I like your design. It looks like you also went with the multiple board design.
Appreciate the offer to share your files, my prototype is almost finished now.
