Here's a photo of the dash I made for my red Clubby:

https://goo.gl/photos/WQkW4oGnAU3xjR8y6

The gauges are just the standard gauges, it's made out of one piece of folded 2mm? aluminium, I got it folded then took it home and slowly trimmed it down till it fitted correctly, the corners need slight bending outwards to allow the rest of the dash to go back far enough.

It's very easy to remove there's 2 screws in the middle that used to hold the radio in I've used these to hold a 20cm? strip of aluminium that locks the dash in after that unplag some wires and the speedo and it comes out.

I'll be building this shortly for my clubbie: http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/to ... -template/

Will also be making: http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/to ... ker-board/

You need to be a registered user of that forum to access the file(s).

No doubt a bit of trial and error to get to fit, but hey, I think it is worth a shot.

Mounting the gauges flat on the panel makes them awkward to see. They will need to be tilted up a little so they are facing you when you are at the wheel. No good them facing your chest and you need to duck to see them properly.

On its way. There are 2 PDF's.
One dash takes up 7 pages alone. The other has 4 different styles on 4 pages.
