Rebody Rebody Dashboard

[Pond]

A full set of 'veglia' replica gauges, speedo, rev counter, clock, water temp, fuel, oil pressure and oil temp from John at ETB is around £1,000.
That includes three new sensors to fit to the block.

I wouldn't think their 250 gauges would be right for 507, but it's worth having a conversation with John to see if he can o something.
After all, his gauges are just generic ones with new dial faces stuck on, basically.

Well it's not a replica so wrong dials won't be a problem. Just wantnto look period. The only reason I'd want the etb 250 gauges is because they have leds for battery, main beam brake etc to avoid drilling holes for lights. But for a 1000 quid I won't bother.

Seems people usually paint their dashboards? Crinkle paint, or whatever it's called.

Anyone done vinyl?

I saw a Youtube short of a vacuum wrap on a 1983 M3 dashboard. It looked quite good.

I painted mine with satin black, then a satin lacquer.

They do have all sorts of guage sets at much less than the 250 prices - full sets at around £500

If you do paint whatever you end up with, I have loads of unused black (and red) crinkle paint you can have for a small fee. I over-ordered by quite a bit!

I'm likely going to try vinyl on the flat top surface. Rest painted body colour as per beemers of the period.

Getting back to attaching it to the remainder of the z3 dash. I'd like to screw it on but don't want to screw through the vinyl. Thinking of sticking with tigerseal but once stuck I'd never get it off again ie to repair/replace vinyl if it starts lifting.
