Popular Post Timmyb Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 I’m in the process of putting a new dash in my truck. They don’t make tan ones anymore so have to get a grey one and paint it. Found some awesome lights. Basically in the bezel you can have etched what the light is for. Completely custom so you can have anything you like. Have included a pic of my dash and an example of the lights. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60160-dash-warning-lights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Should make it look kinda professional and a lot neater. Saves me making stickers to identify each light. My speedo is actually a tachograph. A bit before my time but it would record your speed and driving time on a bit of paper inserted behind the gauge. Im going to make something that looks more standard so I can run a normal speedo.

mrsmackpaul Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The lights on my R model have the writing on the inside of the lense so you can only tell what is when it lights up You seem to have a lot more lights than mine Did You get the fiber glass dash from the fella at Toowoomba or somewhere else ?

Popular Post Timmyb Posted December 21, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2019 Got my dash pretty much finished. Gotta paint it now, and tossing up whether to do the aluminium section in wood grain or paint. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60160-dash-warning-lights/#findComment-438478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just with the vinyl wood grain stuff they sell. I’ve gotta re do the rest of the dash. I dunno if it would be too much wood?

Rob Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 That dash would look nice in a mild pebble grain vinyl layover in light gray or tan too if you prefer. I'm not much in to woodgrain myself. I like your layout and very well may copy your idea. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

j hancock Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 This 3M material is nice for wood grain applications. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-DI-NOC-Architectural-Finishes-Fine-Wood-FW-614-1220-mm-x-50-m/?N=5002385+3293040211&rt=rud 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
