hi all,

we`re making these wood-grain dash boards
Image

just wanting to know
(1)if there are many people who would be interested?
(2) if so what preferences with colour (type of veneer) & guages/holes you`d like?
(3) if there would be any interest in a custom jobby & if so maybe send us a pic of what you`d like?

we havn`t sorted a price just yet but we`re currently doing a few different types, different veneer grains, shapes, guage hole placements etc etc etc

sorry the plastic Madadash is not going anywhere but back into my stn wagon :-)

I've always loved the look of the 1960s Radford dash, but maybe move the stereo up into the centre of the dash to free up the original switch panel. But you'd need a new speed of course which would increase the cost.

Could you provide some more description of the construction, like what is the base material? Is it moulded ply or some manufactured sub-strate?

Just a suggestion. Have you considered returning to the standard oval dash. Yes the timber dash was a popular accessory for sure and they do look fantastic, but the standard setup is so iconic and gives you all that shelf space. Mine had a timber dash to but it's now back to standard. The parts needed unfortunately are getting a little difficult to find.

I can say I have been thinking about one, not in that style though, I might end up only making a half dash with a glove box and head unit bay.

Any chance you still make wood dashboard for minis?
I'm looking for one for my 1969 Morris mini, I'm trying to restore it to its former glory and the original dash has been destroyed and is unable to restore.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated
thank you
