Dash

 

The dash is made out of 1.6mm tread pattern aluminium. It has incorporated the old gauges and added the new marine grade switches I bought. I have also added a glove box. I will be putting the radio in here as well as enough room to store some stuff.

Once I have checked everything I will remove my test wires and wrap everything in electrical tape. Once this is done I will add silicone cable sealer and the outer ribbed casing.
