Dashboard modifications

[BiTurbo]

I think the peice round heater control will fit but the end are deeper to allow the coloured centre to meet flush .
If you look at the same pannel on the van dash it is flat all the way across .

Not sure fella the drawing could be correct or it could be generic, will wait one is bound to turn up at some point.

Hate the open dash compartments on the T6 van
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

Well done fella, I'm wondering if anyone has a 3D printer and can make a lid.

I've got a 3D TV but no printer..,,,

 

[DaveBos]

Got a 3D printer in work, takes hours to make anything and the quality is a bit sh1t. How's about a nice piece of walnut Definitely a market though for an easy fit, quality cover

This is mine so far . Got to get some better vinyl but it looks much better than just black plastic . I have made something for the outer vents but need more vinyl as we only use white to test with .

I have just ordered that centre piece. I have fitted the glove box and the left hand dash vent. Collected yesterday the instrument surround, and part of the centre piece and the bottle holder too.

Not that easy to fit either, have left middle to last as it's the last piece to go in no way am I chancing breaking it by keep removing it to fit other parts

I tried the middle in place ,it nearly fit straight in ,only a small locating peg stopped it ,but that was because it didn't line up with existing clock bezel .

 

[BiTurbo]

Oh right, must be a little deeper too.

 

[Mattsvan]

Glad to see thread still going, been away for a while. I'm still enjoying my dash mods, not applied felt tape as yet as just too busy. I'll have a proper read through what I've missed.....

 

[DaveBos]
