Dashboard centre storage hole

[gembleto]

Hi Paul Holmes, the painted trim does look very nice. Do you have to prep the plastics with anything special and is it easy enough to remove the vents prior to spraying.

 

[Paul Holmes]

Light rub with a scotchpad highbuild plastic primer 2000 grade wet flat 2k black paint then lacquer then flat then more coats of lacquer hard to get a good finish on instrument binnacle my painter does an exchange set if needed

 

[Paul Holmes]

You will need a trim tool to remove them properly here on the forum is a guide I think

Did you ever complete and fit the top hinged cover @Paul Holmes ?

 

[scotia]

@Paul Holmes Did you ever get round to doing the top hinged cover to a standard dash? would be very very interested..

 

[scotia]

@Paul Holmes anything?

 

[kevin kenyon]

has anyone made a cover/or a hinged lid for the useless hole in the top of a t6 dash

Not sure if you can just swap it out for one from a California etc ?

I’m sure there’s a thread on here somewhere but don’t build your hopes up on doing it - someone will make a lot of money If they did do it I’m sure

Van-X appear to have something in the pipeline:

The Van-X mod is 2 months way.....delayed.
Spoke to them yesterday

Otherwise there’s a speaker that you can buy but it doesn’t sound like a straight fit:
Dashboard modification required
(@BiTurbo hasn’t been online since starting that project but @ROMANY TAMPIN is giving it a go)

There’s also a tachometer housing which could take any dials / meters / switches that you might have:
Tachograph?

Good afternoon.

Just wondering if anyone of you folks have fitted one ?

Manky thanks.

[RichDavies82]

Wow, where did you win that from? I’ve been trying to source one for weeks!

 

[fezza68]

I’d only want that so I could house a sub-woofer there, but don’t imagine a sub in the dashboard would do well for rattles and sound quality?

Does the original comfort dash top cubbyhole fit the standard dash? Anyone fitted one?

 

[scotia]

@Wills the two dash's seem to be similar but i dont think that the original comfort dash cubby with lid would fit - or at least not plug and play. I am trying to get my dash scanned as i can then import to cad and play with an idea i have.
If i get the scan done im pretty sure i can get sth interesting made up which doenst require cutting. but i need the scan.. anyone able to help?
