Custom Dash Panel?

[Electro12WH 50]

I want to create a custom dash panel. I thought about using the steel backing plate and making a 22 guage aluminum plate to go over it, only cutting out the things I want. I'm only using the throttle/choke slots and the ignition switch. Has anyone else got ideas for the dash???

Sounds good to me.

Just weld in whatever holes you are not using and have Terry make a custom decal for you.

Sorry I don't have a closeup of the one he made for me but it can be labeled however you want.

Hmmmm.... That's a thought! or texture paint.

Nice job,you gave me some ideas.

I made one from aluminum..... but there's nothing in it other than the four screws to fasten it to the housing.

Is there a trick to bending aluminum if you don't have a metal break?

[AMC RULES 37,141]

Heat, maybe? :dunno:

Bending aluminum can be a challenge first you need the right grade most common grades do not bend well without cracking look for something in the 3000 series comon 6061 will crack. Without a break it is hard to do but can be done with a vise and clamps and bars.

This is what we made for my sons c160

Let us know how it turns out. We might want one if you can produce it easy enough.

Anglo Traction sent me some very good intructions. Perhaps he will share.

Anglo Traction, I would like to see the instructions also if you could send them my way.
