Dash lower edge radius

27 Jul 2015, 7:57pm
Has any one any pictures of how they achieved the lower rash radius? Struggling to work out how to do it on my dash!

My dash was a 2mm ali sheet. I just used a simple push fit u shapped rubber section from Wollies asI recall. Covered it in leather cloth and it looks fine.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up getting one of our carpenters at work to put a 20mm radius on either side of a wooden batten which I will then fix to the lower straight edge of the dash to curve it round nicely, then foam and leather over the top

I used a section of 1/2 inch water pipe lagging and covered it in leathercloth.
