Hi Guys, I'm looking for a fiberglass dashboard for an SS. Also are there any smooth rear boot lids around. Thanks in advance.

Hi Esprit, is it a seperate item or part of the main moulding.

I think it is separate, I bought an SS and it looks like a home made dashboard and I have seen a smooth dash with just a single binacle with instruments cut in to it I photos.

The dash has strange ends as it designed to match the door cards which have a tear drop on them. Single binnacle sure. I had mine in the middle as the 10" steering wheel blocked the view of the clocks. I used Triumph clocks, you need 740 revs per mile (seen at bottom of speedo) to match wheel size and a 4 cylinder tacho'. I also used the Triumph multi gauge in the center with fuel, volts and temp' in one.
Or go modern and fit an all in one digital LCD unit, but make sure it is analogue and not an OBD2 unit as you will not have it.
Each unto their own though, I used a Opel Astra GTE one in the end. very rare now.
Picture removed as irrelevant.

Thanks Peter. They only have nova dashboards. So the hunt goes on.

if you know someone that could make a mould, you can borrow mine for a short while to get the mould made.

in fact i may actually get a new dash made if you do find someone to make one, as I have an all electronic instrument display to fit, but I'll need to modify my dash to get it in.

Thank you Charlie but I'm in southern Ireland, otherwise I would take you up on the offer. Do you have problems with cooling? I'm putting a twin cam lotus engine and box in. Thanks.

hi, ok re dash. As to cooling, no idea, my eagle is completely stripped down at the moment, I think i have quite away to go before I actually get the engine running for extended periods of time

Hi, Ive made a post ref COOLING - OVERHEATING , so that people with any problems can post there, instead of it being LOST within a "Dashboard" thread.
