    Hawk alloy instrument panel: brand-new, unused & uncut

    After announcing new, Hawk-supplied instrument panel for my latest project - refurbishing the pod & instruments on my own car - now I don't need it.

    Assumption I'd replace this panel turned out p
    essimistic, since my old one scrubbed-up better than expected, so decided to stick with it. Keep things simple. Which leaves me a new one to sell...

    These items fully-reversible and my photo shows the reverse - as it would be for a LHD version. (And also upside down...) You simply turn it around onto the other side to create a RHD dash.

    The RHD side has black protective film on it to protect the brushed aluminium finish during installation.

    P
    recision laser-cut instrument-holes = 100 mm in diameter for two main gauges & 50 mm for 5 lesser ones. Plus 4 rectangular openings for switchgear; then 5 small holes pre-drilled to take the standard Stratos fascia-retaining screws. All in their correct locations.

    As a rectangular alloy sheet, you simply trim round the edge to match your own car's pod or binnacle - I guess they all vary. Paid 99.60 pounds a few weeks ago for it (@68 pounds plus 15 pounds for carriage; plus 20% VAT on both) - but am willing to resell within club for 85.00 pounds all-in. (Sorry - UK only, obvs.)

    Thanks for posting. Is the panel the same finish when turned over, as I will have to "flip" it for my RHD Corse in order to get the 5 minor dials above the steering column.

    Yes, Steve, it is indeed. (As previously mentioned).

    That other side (the side you'd use uppermost for a RHD dash) is currently faced with black vinyl to protect the aluminium fascia from scratching or damage during the trimming/installation process.

    Once it's in, you peel the black vinyl off to reveal the alloy fascia beneath. Job done

    PM sent. I took my dash out and tried to peel the fake carbon off only to find white plastic underneath.
    I will take it if it is still for sale please.
    Regards

    Are you sure it will fit in the Corse Steve?
    Your dash panel has a lot of curve along the top edge where the Hawk one is straight.
    If there is no material there to trim back it might not fit.

    Yes, Dave, following the latest set of messages above, it would appear that my brand-new & unused/uncut Hawk-supplied dash' panel for a replica Strato's is still for sale, after all...

    But as my first post (above) also stated, I'm afraid it's got to be a case of "Sorry - UK only, obvs."
