Dashboard

Post by chris » Fri Jun 20, 2014 11:44 am

So, I just removed my dashboard, i have left the dash support bar in place, does this need certifying? There are no sharp protruding edges or anything of the like?

not to shore on cert but it does need padding at least for a wof without an authority card ,also because of its age you may need the demister.

Oooh - the demister is a good point.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I might pop down to a VTNZ station or something of the likes at lunch and quiz them.

Cole did you use a 12v hair drier as a demister when you removed the a/c? He probably won't read this though...

I used two for the demister but i had a dash for the ducting.
You could try track down a stick on one like they have on rear windows, I don't know the legality of that though.

Shampoo on the window does the trick

Haha learned about that reading a book on the Bell X1 jet. Used to do it for my helmet in my go-karting days on the colder race meetings.
