Lwt - modifed dashboard

decided to do a long overdue upgrade of the LWT dash, it was modified when I got it anyway and the look of the vehicle doesn't quite warrant going back the original...........

Just one question though.... I have fitted an oil temp gauge, it already had an oil pressure gauge and the original oil pressure warning light (3.5v8 from a RR - on SU carbs), where does the temp sender unit go on the oil filter housing.... whatever came in the box doesnt seem to have the right threads ...? is there "T piece" I need to get so I can combine it with the pressure sender unit...? :5bbigear:

Still got a bit more work to do and sort out precious owners wiring nightmare...... but heres some photos of the dash and I appreciate that this may not be to everyones taste.....







first "dry fit"

oh dear

ouch man, there are some serious sharp corners on that thing, one bump and you will be sliced ****ted and bashed to death on it, i see you are using extruded ali profile, im guessing acquired from somewhere and not bought, can you not acquire something with a slightly rounder profile?

not when its free...........

I've driven a lot of silly vehicles without safety devices but I think I'd not bother with that one. One 20 mph shunt and you'd be very badly injured! Since you've done a nice job of the gauges why not put some effort into a safer trim...

free=stolen, not my problem but it will be your problem the first time you hit a big bump off road or god forbid have a shunt on road, that **** will seriously hurt you and any poor ****ing passenger you are carrying


do it properly, you are making it much much worse.

can you not put something over the edges ?

For once I'm with James M Oh dear!!!!

Poor!

Forget the edges and its saftey its Hidious!! Well thats just my opinion and not that of everyone but hell what a waste

At least paint it black and put something on the edges like super adhesive rubber
