The electronic display is made by stack, you should find it, and the switchgear on Ebay or Demon Tweeks etc.

I'll get the scanner going and get some pics up but basically it's a stock dash that has been modified for extra switches and a pod has been made to house the stack dash.

 

The buttons to the right off the dash are for it's functions, the two switches are for fuel pump and fancy in car lighting.  The big red button if for starting!

 

The future of 3d printing will be very interesting!  How long do you think it will be before they are able to print an assortment of materials!

I wish I could find a top quality craftsman to make me one of these without the LH glovebox (I need the space for a tacho and two 52mm instruments). Good money available if you have the skills to do it.

They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery....... 

[jpw1275]

i was only messing..... it only cost me about £20 incl postage off ebay and then i recovered in black vinyl to match my door cappings and door cards...;0).... this style is out of a riley elf as the mini ones had the dial either side of the speedo and not in the bottom corners...:0).... looks very easy to make one tho looking at the sections

cheers james
