Fibreglass Race Dash

Some one was after the same dash as I have, but it was not being produced. The moulds were sold to some one else.

Just found this which is identical

Temped to buy it and make a mold myself of it myself actually....

That's my mates. He was gonna put it in a vauxhall 1.6 mini but sold the project on. That dash has never been fitted and is a minta.

Any idea who it bought it from?

I'm sure he brought it from a mini show. I'll give him a ring and find out if he remembers.

SMB Composites, no longer thats who :)

Smudger sold on the moulds to some one in around southport, but I have not seen them since, so this dash should be considered rare. Not many were made. They were about £160 new.

I had to cut about 3" off the back edge on mine to get it to fit with a standard steering column, and it needs a deep dish steering wheel.

That`s not ideal really is it Sproket.

If i do secure this dash on ebay. I shall take a mold. Then i shall modify the dash to fit correctly.

Smudgers parts were never the best, and at times he was a disrespectful cunt. Excuse my language.

He was affiliated with my club at the time when i just started to become interested in composites. Some two and a half years ago i do believe. He was less then welcoming.

I hear what you are saying, but it is called a 'Rece' dash. There are a few on hear that have totaly repositioned their steering column. I got it to fit great and i'm really happy with the way it looks in the car, but there are areas I would like to have seen some minor alterations.

If you want I will take some more pics, but its out of the car at the moment, so it would be a while yet.

If you would that would be fantastic, i`m sure there will be some changes i feel appropriate in addition to yours. So the more input the better really i believe.

If you start making these I would be interested.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I'd be interested too, but wouldn't change anything about the way it looks only the fitment.

Actually yes there is, also a verto flywheel locking plate. However.

I`m taking these into work to see if i can them machined up out of a bit of Inconel

Inconel.....Excellent choice of material.

If i`m honest with you, i don`t know how well it would work in the application in terms of its structure.

But it withstands the hacksaw test bloody well.

But machining it? I guess an aggressive cut but as a slow speed is going to be the way as opposed to multiple passes.

I might just get told to sod off lol!

So was it anyone on here that won?

And?

It would be a good starting point to stop me needing to faf about.

The thing I like about the SMB dash was the shrouded style of the pod. I accented this a bit more by making a seperate panel that sits in at the top and is flush with the bottom.

Fine if its a race car, it doesnt need to be stylish, but on a road car, its nice to have at least some style.

Now if you did a two peice like the white one, but with the shrouded pod with an angled dash face, It would satisfy what I was originaly looking for, at less than chop your arm off prices.

Now the other thing I would improve is the arc of the pod, making sure that it is concentric with the sterring wheel.

what I really want is the dash from the Group A works Subaru Legacy
