is there any salvation for those with RHD cars?

the most i know so far i that the guys at Glass-Action are willing to modify thier classic dash into RHD.... but i really like the dash from hoffman

Do you mean: Why don't you "french " your gauges into your dash?

By that i mean of buckets of decreasing diameter (min is the gauge diameter) from the face of the standard dash towards the front...

or like a new car's dash?

Not "frenching" in each gauge(s) into the dash I mean either using a gauge cluster from a moden car, like the new model porches, or a sube or something like that, or making a cluster out of after market gauges and recessing them to look like a set of gauges on a moden car. and then using the gauge cluster just as it would look in the original car. this way with the aguges farther back it would be easier to see mor gauges at once.

Baja Wes has just finished his dashboard with a modern cluster fitted behind a flat dash. He has pics on the aussieveedubber conversion forum

I have a sandblasted 911 gauge panel that I was going to put into my Ghia. It comes with all the gauges. I can email a pic if someone is interested. Make an offer.

I've changed direction with this whole dash thing. Instead of trying to make the steel 911 section fit. I've made a fiberglass mold of it (just the area where the gauges fit) and will fit that to my dash. The removal bezel I'm making out of carbon fiber (which is the next part of the project). The gauge section will be removable (not bonded to the dash....just bolted from the inside) so I can work on fitting it with the steering wheel and clearance for my hands. If anyone has gone this direction I'd be interested in seeing some pics.

i hate to bring up old posts... but oh well

has anyone here in the us successfully imported one of either the hoffman or csp fiberglass 911 style dashes? i know you can buy them, but from what i've read, the whole customs issue can be very costly at the least.

is there anyway to be able to get one of these style dashes here? unless there are other options (besides the glass action one) to work in a 1303?

thanks! Brian
