because of the dash moulding/padded bit the dash area actually slopes downward in a clubby in a roundie it faces upward a bit.. (hadnt thought about that b4) so its going to make the guages hard to see without some sort of rethink. without the time to do that, have you thought about removing the original clubby dashpads so ots like a roundie, and then fit a roundie type wood dash |

When I did my dash for my clubman I had this problem, what I ended up doing was starting the bottom of the face at far front of the bottom dash pad and sloping it back to the indent in the top dash pad OK here is a really bad diagram 
Hope it helps  
Doing this way you can still see your guages and in IMO is looks good (wish I had a photo of my dash to show )

How's the conversion going? Now my boyfriend's interested in your dash, I told him about it and I think he's starting to get into the idea. He seems to enjoy playing with fibreglass
