Hi

I need a dash panel for my Westfield SEIW.

Where would be the best to get one?

Don't want to spend the earth.

Many people make their own dash panels. I did for my MK Indy using plywood...

I've just made mine, £14 for a fastglas kit from halfords, I made a template from card, transferred that to a scrap bit of ply and silicone on a bit of waste pipe along the bottom edge to get the radius. Then tightly wrapped it in foil (the resin doesn't stick to foil). A couple of layers of GF and a sand and its ready for flocking. Never used GF before and was surprised how easy it was...

Playskool do a GRP one pretty cheap. Think it's 40-50 quid.

I got a carbon one from Mark at carbon-nv lovely quality but a bit more pricey at 125.

I have been thinking about making fibreglass components, would be nice if you gave us a step by step guide if you have time.
