One thing I didn't like was the noise coming from the air filter through the dash.

So I made a panel

As it's not structural I just tack welded it and then ran some pu sealer around the joint and then covered it in 6mm closed foam on both sides

I welded 2 brackets on the inside so the speedo would bolt directly to it

and the fascia just screws on as before

Nice idea that.

Done the dash,diamond pattern vinyl, homemade binnacle and eyeball vents.
Bit of an issue with the eBay sourced rev counter, it stays on zero on tick over and appears to under read the rest of the time.The oil gauge isn't connected because I don't have the correct sender and I'm not paying 60 quid for one ☺️
