NICE DASH!

Dig the gauges in the glove box... very clean.

(But...   umm...   the tach gives away the sleeper look just a wee little bit) Wink Wink

The first link I am not sure about. The second one the website is lacking. If you search for Grumpys Metal on The Samba  there is more info.

I sell them for CHF 129.00 or 87.00 Euro plus CHF 4.50 (3 Euro) shipping uninsured. Insured shipping to Belgium would be CHF 11.00  (7 Euro).

Fredy, if not available, you might do it yourself. Here's few pics of my layout done recently :

A black market panel (Empi ?) to be use as model with the stock original one


few cuts later


and the result on the dashboard.



I like it a lot.


Cheers
