Good morning to all,

I'm building a Pre-66 Fia Racing Mini replica and I need some images.
Can you post images of dashboards used in these cars?

Thank you very much!

Standard dash.

Do you know where can I get or how can I make something like this?



Thanks!

Try BMW Motorsport

Also try using Mini Miglia spec front suspension parts. In fact, bugger it.....fit a 1440 unit with a 45DCOE. The scrutineers at Goodwod will never notice. Oh and don't forget to leave your wheelnuts loose.

looks easy enough to make in either alloy or GRP.
Here's one I rivited up out of sheet alloy using the tried and tested 'Make it first in Cornflake packet' tecnique! note the not very crackly crackle black finish........

(not a great photo, sorry, and it actually sat up neatly against the lower dash rail and was bolted down through it, with the nust on underneath)

You could also cut a suitable 'face' shape in 25mm MDF, radius the corners then fix it to another sheet which is 1" larger all round. sand it smoothe and seal it then give it a coat of wax and cover it all in GRP to make a mould. Once that's done you can make as many as you like out of the mould!

Just have a go! 'tis the joy of old minis
