In reality its not much further away than a centre Speedo although a little smaller..... Designed as a centre set up for a Rover gauge cluster!

A/c has gone.... Misses isn't an A/c person

Hey Blunder.. Looks great.. Definite improvement IMO! Where did you source the air vents from? Did they come with the dash or are they retrofitted off something else?

That type of dashboard comes with the rover style vent holes already cut in it so he would just use his existing vents from the old dash

Need a steering column drop bracket to get the steering column lower. It looks like that glove box in front of the column could be a bit tight to get open

The dash is real different. Im not a fan but you dont see one like it very often
