Trike pod face plate material

That's a bargain. Thought of going the fibreglass route to save costs, but at this price, and the labour involved for fibreglass

Thanx for the qcad tip.

Hey V

Have you thought of Aircraft grade 3mm Ply.
Made my dash from it.

Hi Tailspin,

Have you thought of Aircraft grade 3mm Ply.

That's a very nice-looking dash! I did think of using plywood, actually, but my panel needs a bend and aluminium holds he shape better.

Cheers,

Thanks V
Much appreciate the Compliment.
The only other way if you do not want Ali then you must go Fiberglass.
Keep us posted.

I settled for alu, got the cutting done and am busy with fitting the instruments and the last bits of soldering. Plan is to do the fitment to the trike on Saturday.

Cheers,

Excellent Dude

Looking forward to see the pics

Everything checked out A-OK on the bench, instruments are configured, now just need to label the switches, fuses, attach the radio bracket and fit to the trike.

The brushed aluminium doesn't look as classy as I thought it would, but am still happy. Also the reflection is a bit strange on this pic. Anyways, it's a vast improvement from what the panel was before.

The blanked out hole is for an MGL or Optifuel fuel computer to be added later - but that's going to be the next project.

Cheers,

V.
