Out of interest, why do the miglia dashes have 'dimples' in them. For a little more rigidity? On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

The dash in mine has dimples (as does the parcel shelf,gear linkage bracket,boot floor etc) I had always assumed it was something Pete Vickers did as a sort of trademark if you like having seen them in lots of other cars he has done.Dont know for certain though.

I am going to add a dimple in the lower section of the dash to add a little strenght as i will be mounting things to it. ie wiring loom, fuse box. |

Easy enough to make a dimple tool to save cost.

Thanks Paul,doesnt get much simpler than that! Do you need to have a flat area around the domed formers to stop the panel bending too much around the dimple if that makes sense? Edited by rosco454 on 10th Jan, 2010. On 20th Jan, 2011 apbellamy said:

That will depend on the material and its thickness. I seriously doubt it! |

The dimple will have to be pointing upwards (into the engine bay) as it would catch the pedal box. |
