The dash comes in 2 layers from GBS, an inner layer that gets its tabs bent to fasten onto the scuttle and an outer slghlty larger layer that you cover and make look nice with Vinyl or similar. GBS do a glassfibre one now with the IVA required rounded lower edge radius of 19mm, but the IVA manual also appears to suggest as long as its padded the radius can be less than 19. So Mike is planning of riveeting the inner in place, the rivets will then be covered up with rubber edging strip. The outer then gets padded, using a camping roll mat! £5 from Argos. This is covered in vinyl and cutouts made for the gauges. Will try to get more photos of it all held together but here's a quick 'lights on' shot.
The aluminium plate is 5mm i think, with a Bright6 module mounted behind (symbol decal not added yet), a cig lighter socket for phones/satnav and a switch for the fog. This has a 'tell-tale' LED in it so you know when the fog is on or not.
