This forum is very good at this!

I want to make a curved (but oval shape) that sits over the top of the dials. So far I have a poorly constructed bit out of fibreglass and filler, but want to cut that out and epoxy a piece on. thats perfectly round and a good shape.

At first I thought a plastic food mixing bowl cut in half, but that sits up too high. So I'm after something more oval, minimum 30cm diameter.

the pic below shows the bit I want to replace on the dashboard on the right. Any ideas on what I could use?

My first thought would be an actual dial cover, I have one from my donor MX5 that I plan on using/butchering. This;

I used a Micra dash top, but only used the front section.

Would you be able to confirm the width of it towards the top of the piece, 'ensure from the inside.

You are right a dashpiece is probably best, just hard to know which one will fit.
