Do not ask for the price , please

It was advertised as for Lanborghini / Ferrari ( which may be accurate)  and priced accordingly !

What do you think about my (two) original  switches ?

Hi ,

In the meantime we made some progress:

The original dash was removed and new ( gr.4 ) was fitted :

The gauges visibility is what I aimed for ; perfect view of all gauges and the RPM meter centrally located. With built in shift warning light this should work quite well.

Difficulties : not many

It was important to keep all gauges ans switches connected after removing the original dash - to help identify all required wires to connect switches as well as gauges.

The dash is mounted on bent 4mm x 40mm strips of hardened aluminum. This gives both stability as well as light weight. It also offers required safety - the strips will give in under pressure and bent rather than cause potential injury.

Currently all the wires are being connected to new switches and gauges.

It will be painted satin black , and the top will be lined with thick felt . The felt will be glued on by a special automotive contact glue. On the felt I will glue thick black woolen cloth. The top dash lining will be up to 1 cm thick.

The sharp edges of the dash top plate will be protected by a thin plastic tube cut in half. This will create a bulge on the edge of the top dash plate making it much softer and not as sharp . When in addition covered by felt and thick cloth both flipped over the edge this should be well protected. As the felt and cloth will be flipped over the edge it will also provide lining between the top plate and the dash. This should make this connection soft enough to prevent rattling due to vibrations. If required additional mounting bolt on points will be made to keep the top plate and and the dash integrated.

More as progress is made...

PS : as there was no speedo in gr 4 cars I plan to install an SPA digital speedometer. It is fully programmable , including a programmable acceleration timer (it will give a 0-100 km/h accelerations time). This speedo is completely universal -the speed reading is taken from magnets which are attached to a wheel hub. Calibration can be set to any tire/wheel size. With 48x29x25mm it can be easily mounted under a flip cover so that will not spoil the gr.4 vintage dash look - and when needed can be opened to be visible.

More done !

The felt gluing went very well ! 

The surface is soft and absolutely flat.

The black cloth will be glued over the felt after I can attach the aluminum mounting brackets. This requires bolts to be attached. To hide the bolts under the black cloth on the top I have to position them properly and cover with small pieces of felt.

Hopefully this will be done tomorrow.

The stopper - chronometer  pocket done .

The pocket will be lit by red pilot lights which should have a pretty effect during the night

Where can those relay bottoms be found? Three relays in a row? Or three independent bottoms? How about wiring diagrame for G.4, does anybody have it?
