Drivers seat and steering wheel were balanced in place so that i could figure out where i wanted the instruments and switches. It also contributed to the curves of the dash so that i could fit my legs under, both driving and as a passenger:
Slight issue, the body frame is too close to the main two instruments to allow them to sit flush, so after a bit of frantic googling i stumbled across a possible design solution. I'm not going to use this, but rather make my own version of this 'style' of covers for the main two instruments:
After a lot of fettling and angling and re-angling, everything was taped in place, covered and fiber glass and bonding paste applied. Fingers crossed that it turns out as good as i hope! You can't really see the angle from this photo, they just look raised. That's just an optical illusion of this photo, they're both quite heavily angled towards the driver.
