I had made up dash ends way back (https://bhhh.co.uk/dash-eend-bit/) in March. Now I really liked the brushed aluminium that I made them from, but I found that there is a good reason why dash boards in cars are usually black, if they’re not you get reflections in the windscreen, which is super annoying. So I have painted those bits black now:
I decided to make up an end bit for the top part of the dash last night, this hole should have a plastic bit over it: So I made up a paper template: Found some nice second hand aluminium and having drawn around the pattern twice, once right side up and once right side down for the other end.. Then using the vice and a small hammer: Took about 45 minutes to fabricoble that together. Not bad eh? Just need to do the other side now.
