I have a feeling that a but of dash panel surgery may be necessary for the SD1 pod, basically a cut n fillet to level off the slope of the dash top.
No point having instruments that I can't read!

PS I also have an idea for altering the angle of the steering wheel, but its not a DIY job (I have made steering shafts before, for AC Cars before they finally went bust!)

I see. That makes sense. Cheers SB

Ian, i have a dashboard in my garage taking up space if you want it muck around with?

RHD?

Ah no....... But each end must be the same profile for mucking around me with?

Ta but no use to me. Can't offer it up to check master brake cylinder clearance etc

ok

Improved the line of sight to the RR dash pod with the tiniest of adjustments. It could go a smidge lower, its doable and there is still good knuckle clearance.

I sat down last night and tried to count the turns/mile but whilst the speedo worked, the odo didnae...
Took it all apart to find a dead spider inside and a sticker on the mechanism that says 1000 revs.
Fished out the cadaver and the silk strands and now it counts the miles

So now I will need a 16:10 reduction box in the speedo cable if this is going into the syncro... could be a mini project in itself.
Like I need another one.

Still no idea on switchgear though

RHD dash here if you want it. Poverty spec with loads of holes drilled into it.

i forgot to post this





it was posted by a bulgarian owner on our forum last year, he had fitted the engine from the car as well so it all worked

Whats that dash from then?

citroen synergie

Ah yes. C8/ Pug 806/Fiat Ulysse. Not many vehicles that wide.
