Dashboard modifications

[volkscraft]

Here’s the two together. Lots of subtle differences which make adding the upper glove box to the normal dash very difficult without Lots of cutting!

Thank you for your reply

I was thinking about doing the same but saw the complete dash and managed to get it for £1500 which I thought was a good price for everything.
I build camper vans for a living and I’ve done a lot of modifications in my time so I thought I’d give it a go.
I’ll take lots of pics and post a separate thread on how it goes. I have a t6 dash that I bought a while back so that will show me where the fixings are at least.

thank you for your reply and photos. We’re the clocks easy enough to remove? I can see how everything else comes out from the other dash I have.
also, have you got a part number for the heater control surround panel? The dash I’m getting has the full climate panel and needs to be swapped but can’t see the number on the parts catalogue.
many thanks.
luke.

Clocks come out easy enough, can’t remember how but don’t remember anything technical. Couple of T20 torx behind the pop off trim possibly?
As for heater panel surround, I’ll check my parts list tomorrow if I get chance.

Thank you. That would be really helpful. It lists several numbers on parts link but doesn’t give any info about what controls they’re for. Thanks again.

The one I fitted was 7E5 857 212 TA8 Which is 'Structural' colour at the bottom. (brushed aluminium)

Do you have a pic of it?

Do you have a pic of it?

I don't. But I will get one.

Hello.
Sorry it took a while. Here's a picture of the trim.

 

[Rslad]

I very much doubt you’ll find a wrap to match as that looks textured. Try Vw or TPS for one.

 

[Macmain12]

From what I can find. The colour is called structural. It doesn't seem to be textured.

 

[Macmain12]

Are there part numbers for these trims does anybody know?

 

[Gavinda]

I'd be surprised if you can buy just the decorative strip, vw will probably want to sell you the whole panel. I hope for your sake I'm proved wrong though.

 

[Macmain12]

been doing some digging and i think a similar if not the same pattern would be a silver carbon effect, now i cant make my mind up to weather they have been Dipped or Wraped

Here's one cheap skate version to fitting a glove box.......

There is a plastic trim (same as the dash material) behind the drivers seat This nearly fits the top opening and only needs a little mod.

Nowhere near as smart as a glove box conversion but hides all that's behind at no cost at all

this is a great idea! can you upload pics of it open, and what hinges you used? id imagine gently heating it would get a nice curve to it too.
Thanks

Hi do you have the part numbers for the hoses?

 

[bimbo]

Že jo. Totální bolest ve Wangu.


Vystřihněte to všechno a podařilo se mi to správně usadit a zarovnat se zbytkem obložení.
Jak říkáš, nic se nehodí. Dokonce ani leskle černé středové větrací otvory nejsou přímo vhodné bez zbytku lesklých černých částí s malými výstupky.

Také odkládací schránka se neotevře, aniž byste trochu zatlačili přístrojovou desku nahoru, takže jsem vyřízl drážku, aby se horní část otevřela, aniž bych ji zatlačil nahoru.
Právě jsem odřízl hranu, která je viditelná, takže jsem použil polyuretanový tmel, abych ho vyhladil a vytvořil texturu, která se skryje. Uvidíme, jak to bude vypadat zítra.

Plastově jsem přivařil pevnou spodní lištu, když je krabice otevřená, a poté polyuretanový tmel, abych vyplnil nedokonalosti a vytvořil texturu až k okraji.
Mělo by to vypadat dobře.

Jakékoli nedokonalosti obrousím a použiji texturovaný sprej.

prosím o oříznutí horní části nevím jak moc děkuji

Why doesnt someone with a 3D printer, create a simple insert with lid to slot into the upper glovebox?. You'd sell loads. Everyone would want one.
