Walnut dashboard trim

how much

 

If you can remember a Triumph and a Vanden Plas you must be an old fart

 

My first car was a Triumph 1300 that had a lovely wooden dash and later I had a TR4A with the same.

 

Mine was a Hillman Avenger then Morris Minor van ...excuse me Bern i have got find my zimmer frame .

 

Don't forget to take your tartan slippers off before you go outside

 

they look lush! I couldn't justify spending £300 on one though myself.

very good craftsman ship though!

 

Outside, oh no no no my damp patch will freeze in this weather

 

If you like my walnut dash trim ,they are £260 for the first batch.

 

That is really nice! I was thinking of making something very similar just the other day but realised it wasn't that easy what with my limited skills and total lack of time! Could you make them in other wood?

 

Of course any type of wood,walnut is a very sought after timber and very expensive but looks so good. I have made these to fit into the channel on the edge of the top dash part in the same way the original fits.

 

How do you fit them Simon? The orginals had 6 studs built in, have you done the same?

 

Yes,there are slim brackets with threaded studs fixed to the rear of the trim. As you can see on the photo the walnut trim goes into the channel on the top all the way .

 

They are a work of art.

 

Thanks Zed they are very difficult to make, i have worked as an antique restorer and also built ash frames for a vintage car restoration company.

 

What about the hand grip how does that fit or isn't there one ..?







Maybe being a donkeytuesday_wildchild

 

Selling for £260 now.With tax and p+p.

 

That's a hell of a price drop all of a sudden?

 

Would oak or ash be any cheaper? I'm redoing my interior cabinets in a light oak or ash so would be a better match

 

The first few dont have but can be fitted to the blanks that are unfinished. Extra cost though, im at my lowest price at the moment.
