Irish Mini Owners Club

my third attempt at making my own dashboard :D
(first one broke in half near the start, 2nd was copied of a template and was dung) i have a template on thin sheet of mdf made..
everything seems fine except i am not sure as to whether the air vents need an extension of some sort to make it connect up nicely?
anyone ever come across this problem or know anything about it?

cheers

You can always add another piece of MDF to the inside of the dash where the vent is to take up the space.

I gave up on mine, I bought one on the net !!

Assembled on board the ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland on the way to the IMM in 1991, beginning to show its age now, needs redoing.

A bit like the owner so.

I have a vague recollection of dash and lengths of wiring all right!

And the three Italian Border guards laughing at them.

Yeah, but where are they now

nearly there now, as per usual (3rd time wrong) i got the measurments for the air vents wrong again, there sitting a little bit to high but should be easily fixable. made a nice little housing for the clocks, still have to make a little compartment and then finally am gonna spray it some colour or get something sprayed on it.. any ideas?? ive got a flame red body on outside with a white semi checkered roof. the door cards are chequered too...

o ps, was there a 30th edition cooper made??? one for sale in my town

Yup the Limited Edition Mini 30, came in Metalic Cherry Red (2000 built) or Black (1000 built). Overall 200 were automatics.

But its not a cooper as they where introduced a year later in 1990 when the RSP cooper was launched followed by the mainstream cooper.
