What are the Mk2 ones going for now?
I paid $50 years ago.

My mate Laingy needs one to go in his Clubby hydrovan...

I modified a MK2 dash for my Cooper S. Just took a few hours of carefully cutting and comparing with the old one to make it fit. Probably not concourse but you need to look carefully to note the difference. And its thicker and has no cracks. My old one ended up in many pieces. I have also had to replace the cream inner plastic surround because it had cracked and broken.


How did you fill the indicator holes :?:

Well, as long as the grain is similar, no one will notice, unless you remove it, and play with it....

You better not be judging then :lol: :lol:

Even replaced the braided pipes with black fuel hose to be correct..

It will be a long way off your car Greg, but its a work in progress....
Slowly getting there...

$60 - according to 7s website. Although, both are missing the chrome surround. Interesting they don't list it as a "associated" item....

As a "by the way" I would suggest 7 are a pretty reliable bunch - I've been getting stuff off them since the 80s. Perhaps not quite as "commercial" as other US suppliers...

Cheers, Ian

I got my plastic dash from Karcraft about 2 years ago and it doesn't have indicator holes? Not sure why? And the vertical lines dont show too much from the front and yes I used an angle grinder at the back. If you had been at Eastern Creek on Sunday then you could have checked it out 8)
