I bought them both off eBay. The rough one first. I think it came from Brickworx... Well, i picked it up from some mob in Adelaide about 4yrs ago. Then i found the better one so i sold the first to some bloke on Ausmini.

The two together...

As it currently looks. It's in my mini now but is still a few weeks away from all the gauges being hooked up.

As you can see they have both been butchered. One moreso than the other. I'm no good at fibreglassing so i decided to just buy more gauges rather than trying to fill the extra holes in.

Some of these must be reproductions, surely.

From what info i could find, only the OZ cars had these dashes, so i would think that at some stage someone has thought it would be a good idea to sell some dashes as they only ever sold 4 or 5 cars? so i would think that there is quite a few out there?
when i bought mine over twenty years ago, it also came with this seat!

Does anybody know what it is?

Looks like a Becks to me. Cant tell if its a local brew or imported. 5.0% ALC/VOl
Look closely and you may see the tell tale sign of 10c refund in Loonie Land! (SA) If so, its a local.
Very clever to disguise it in a non descript stubby holder. Great selection all the same!! :wink:

I like those dash's! More pics would be great, including how they secure!!
How do you secure them in place?

I picked up an uncut one, like new, at Ballarat swap meet one year.

I sold it on eBay for a tidy profit a few weeks later. Someone from Mini and Moke World bought it for their Broadspeed.

I believe that's correct. The UK Broadspeeds had the normal oval binnacle in the centre, i think.

It won't be long before my mini is finished. I'll post pictures then. The way it is secured is by 4 bolts through the top part of the dash. Just below the windscreen. 'twas a total bitch to drill those holes without removing the windscreen.
