Just found this Forum yesterday. I have a 1967 Austin Mini Mk1 that I changed from an 850 to 1293.

I know this thread is 6 months old. What is happening in regards to the RHD style of these dashes? Can they be purchased still? I am looking for a dash and this is the only one that I have seen that I like. I have a weber card with a box in the fire wall. I want to use my original gauges this would be ideal!

Let me know please
Thanks
Todd

The RHD purchase was still born, we didn't get enough interested people to fulfill the quota needed for the manufacturer to build the RHD version.

I am surprised they are not made RHD considering the Mini was born in England. The manufacturer is missing out on a big market.

Thought about grabbing a LHD and converting it. Not for that price. Looks like its the STIG dash then. No one over here has them.

Thanks for the heads up.

Well, find 6 more buyers and I'll get in touch with the manufacturer ;)
