Dashboard bottom edges
I know this will have been answered before, but at the bottom of the dash is it 38mm dia for the SVA, i.e. I can glue two 38m dia half round pieces of
wood to my flat and thin dash to keep the man happy.

Sounds good - 19mm radius = 38mm diameter

Hi
Glad this has come up. Does this 38mm rule apply to the entire bottom edge of the dash including where the edge starts to go vertical or just the
straight horizontal parts over the leg areas?

it is the whole lower edge regardless of any angular bits up the sides.
there is an exclusion zone around the steering wheel (127 mm if memory serves me well) and usually, as in my case, the driver's side is exempt.

I made up a little dash extension. Looked like it was meant to stay (in fact I haven't taken it off yet)!!!
I got some lagging pipe, cut a quarter section out of it, glued a section of mdf(!) to the cut edge to make a "d" shape (this making any
sense?) then covered it in the same leatherette as the dash and screwed through the mdf into brackets I already had in place on the back of the
dash.
Looks alright and survived the "prod" test...

I think that is just the radius for any normal object(buttons etc) not the dash bottom radius itself which is specified as having to have a radius and
besides would you really NOT want to have a radius their for you own sake?.
