Under dash area |

Looks quite ugly and would probably not pass the SVA test due to projections such as the wiper motor. |

Side Panel |

I made a cardboard template first and used my MIG welding gas bottle as a former to geth the curve! |

Brackets |
|
Made from 3mm aluminium and were bent after annealing (rub a bar of soap on the area you want to anneal, heat it with a blow lamp until the soap turns black) The threaded fittings are rivnuts. |

Under dash panel |

I split this to make fitting and removal easier. the join is 'joggled' (stepped) to keep the panel flush. |

Instrument binnacle area |
|
The panel had to be formed to fit were the lower edge dips downward. I annealed it and clamped it in a former that I made from two pieces of 19mm plywood. |
