Hi Neil Only limited help here - I dont think you'll get another dash to fit unless you're going to do some choppy choppy on a larger one. If you want to DIY and need a template I have a spare and am doing a weekly visit to Surrey so would be passing fairly regularly during the week.
I think Darren Siepka has done something different on a comlete dash, and I seem to remember reading Jim putting Pug 205 clocks into one Have you tried swapping the stalk switch for the headlamps? And is there an alarm LED or something that could be interferring on the top cowling? I've a spare fusebox somewhere if you're stuck (that'd be fun) Andy On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 9:27 PM, barnacle <[email protected]> wrote: > > Finally got the chance to get back to the 2+2 and finish putting it > back together.
