Dashboard Kit - OEM Spec Murcielago, LP640, LP670 Dash

[Digibeam]

you put the driver on the wrong side....  bet you have been hanging about that String fellow?...

[Matty99dun]

I made one...well I am still making / finshing off a dash for the MR2, its a skin over so the MR2 dash is still in place.
The door cards where tossed if favour of OEM copys but even they will need to be modified to match up to my dash ends.

I would suggest simply cutting 1/2 of the difference from the edge of each side. Honestly, I think it would look just fine. I'm sure it would look better than taking all the difference from one side because if you did that, it would no longer be symmetrical. Unless you mean to cut it down the center and splice it back together. I personally think that is more trouble than it is worth but it is technically doable.

The original piece is rigid and will mold well. No problem there.

Yea you're right, didn't really think of that but rather the fact that our g28 dashes aren't exactly made for our individual kits either. I'm wondering if cutting at the airbag side would be an option.

As mentioned I also already have the knee pad piece.

How hard is it to make moulds of the dash being foam, without the cluster mounts going out of line for example? Maybe it's more rigid than I think it is.

[BigPines]

Sorry about the delay in getting the measurements. I had to wait until morning to get a good pic of the part. My measurements are close to Strings but not exact. Part of the difference could be his is covered in leather. This is an original part, I have not molded it yet.

Guys, I don't think you want me modifying this dash to fit a G28. I don't have your kits or your cars so I would just be guessing when I cut it down and I promise you really don't want that. If I were building a G28, I would rather get the OEM spec dash and cut it down and fit it myself. If there really is only 3" difference, that is only 1 1/2" to cut from each side. Not a big deal compared to the amount of fabrication we all do on these cars.

I have calculated my costs and I would need to sell at least four of these 4-piece kits (without the heart attack handle) and I won't quite break even. If I am able to do a 5-piece kit including heart attack handle for $600, I would need to sell five to break even. If I sell less kits, my price will have to go up. I would rather not sell à la carte but if that is what the majority wants, I will make it work.

I am open to your thoughts.

[Tallon]

Perhaps if it's length is first modified to fit the g28

[String]

Dimensions ...... I can assist with. (Perspective makes the width more than it is)

Well done bigpines for going with it , looks great.

[italianknightrider]

a little over 3 inches wider that the G28 the OEM windshield is like 61 3/4 and the Maxima windshield is 58 1/4 or something

[Digibeam]

Haha,  its still a favorite  and it doesnt melt when you go outside...

i am still interested in the dash though.... and curious about the width measurement, i seem to recall the OEM dash is wider than the G28 dash, but by how much?  not sure...

[BigPines]

Nope, I thought the offer was sweet enough.

Besides, do you really need ice cream the great white north?

[Digibeam]

ice cream isnt on the menu?   

[BigPines]

Isn't that à la mode?

Solrac, yes, I will get that measurement for you.

[Digibeam]

"It sounds like the "kit" idea may not work out so well. I may have to do an à la carte offering."

so,  this comes with optional ice cream?

[solrac]

cool.. can u give me measurement on the width of it plz. want to make sure it will fit my body..
just from side to side. like from #19 to #20

[BigPines]

Cool. Seems like there may be a bit of interest in this.

Digibeam, yes, I don't mind shipping ANYWHERE in the world but I have no idea what shipping costs would be. We'll have to figure that out.

It sounds like the "kit" idea may not work out so well. I may have to do an à la carte offering.

Oh, and I'll look into the heart attack handle (#15) but I can't guarantee anything.
