And for a clubbie there was always the problem of making the bit around the clock face look smik. Here's how it's done.

A couple bits of MDF and a router and you can have one too.

Good diagrams, I'm going to get an aluminium one made (should be cheaper than wood) and fit custom gauges

Has anyone got a diagram of a dash that would fit in without needing the clubby top rail?

Angled pieces of mdf or timber at the sides would be the go I think :)..

BTW Makka if you ever take your dash out I think making up a template from it would be fantastic :). I could even get my partners father to make one up or perhaps a couple as he has a full cabinet makers workshop and my partners brother has his own cabinet making business and has represented Australia in a worldwide cabinet making contest overseas :). He also makes gorgeous furniture and it's all the old tongue and groove stuff. Not like this disposable cheap junk you buy in stores today..
