Show us your switch panels and gauge clusters

This is an amazing dash! Can you please give us details on the instruments? Steering column, speedometer, etc...
I'm retiring my m3 from the track and planing on tracking my e30.

The Dash is a fiberglass one that DTM fiberwerks is selling.

The main gauge system is a Stack 81xx series and I have added an ATL fuel gauge not shown in that pic (the stack didn't want to play nice with my ATL fuel cell sender).

The progressive shift light is made by Ecliptech.

I'm using paneltronics rocker switch panel with integral breakers.

The red dial is a tilton brake bias adjuster, the small dial above that is for my cool suit.

The steering column is made by Woodward. It's one of their safety columns with a collapsible section.

I've since added a couple gauges and some labeling but this is the only good pic I have.



Fiberglass dash with "krinkle coat" paint. I sure like the flocking route as detailed above so might have to do that on the next project.

here's a video of ours after a slight malfunction:




I'm going to be 3D-printing the next one to mount to the dash bar.

I also did the Donjer flocking kit on my dash....I would really recommend the kit to anybody. Although I must say that those damn fibers go EVERYWHERE

Dyno4mance, I really like your "flocked" dash. I think I may do it to my race car. How much of the fiber material did it take to do your dash? Did you use the spray applicator?

Yes, used the spray applicator and I think it was a big 1LB bag of fibers in black
It helps to lay the fibers on thick...

As mentioned above... I used a process called flocking....you spray the dash with very strong adhesive and then spray very small strands of nylon onto adhesive...then wait and do not disturb for 3 full days...
Similar to the texture inside a jewelry box. It is typically used in rally cars to stop glare from the sun reflecting off the windshield, works quite well and quite hard wearing.... Also does a good job of concealing a cracked dash.
Kit was purchased from "Donjer Products"

Thanks.

Looking good. What is the material you used to wrap dash?
