Chaps I can confirm the instrument binacle is part of the dashboard moulding. The 'hood' section that sits on the top of the instrument binnacle is a separate...
Jamie, On my car the door panels are held on by simple push fit plastic lugs. I lever them off gently with a large, blunt screwdriver and have no screws to ...
FYI I purchased a book whilst in the States called "Sports Cars" by Peter Henshaw published by Crestline in 2004 in "The 500 Series" ISBN 0-7603-1995-2. Sports...
Glenn I know that reply was directed at Jamie, but it was very useful. I was going to replace the instrument panels with carbon fibre, but if I have do do all...
Nick and all, The rather tacky plastic that sits behind the bezels of the main instrument cluster and in front of the fiberglass of the dash, disintegrated...
Glenn I was going to replace the lights too and do the centre console with matching switches, but it strikes me that it will have to wait until I need to...
I've just re-covered my instrument panel and done a similar thing to Glenn. I re-covered mine with a covered fibre effect material which stuck onto the...
The steering column is designed to crush in an accident, and from memory the whole outer column assembly will slide up and down the the inner shaft. I think...

I'd be interested in the photos, I was looking at using aluminium lights and matching push button for the centre console. Am I right in thinking that you...
Hi to all, just to clarify, the reason i want the door panels off is to fit speakers and the top dash and instrument cowling needs to be re upholstered. at the...
You really have to bite the bullet on this as there is no way you can re cover the dash without removing it. I tried mad ideas like lifting the upholstery in ...
Jamie, I think the dash has to come out to be re-covered properly. It’s not just the sticking of the new covering on the main surfaces but getting it round ...
Jamie I am mid way through re-vinyling the yop dash. I am afraid doing this in situ would be an imposibility, given the contours and the requirement to get...
Me being me, I ripped out all the dash and built my own new prototype out of glassfiber, put in place the decent Autometer clocks, made sure I was happy, added...
hi to all, as per usual you have all been a a huge help, im sure we're all a little nuts glenn for owning and working on our own 33s, enjoy ur nap in the...
Yes, I only removed the top part of the dash above the dials to get to the back of the instruments. The main part of the dash remained in situ. All dials came...

Mark I will have a look. I know that on mine the ignition has to be on for brake lights, but I am not sure about the horn. If it sops raining I get the car...
hi mark and nick, likewise with mine the ignition needs to be on for the breaklights but my horn works fine without the keys in it at all, will try and...
Mark, As I'm sure you will know by now, ignition on for brake lights - I have currently have my horns disconnected and can't remember the status on that. A...
I wonder if anyone can help with my steering column problem. To enable removal of the dash I dropped it down by unbolting the bracket near the steering wheel...
I think you need to loosen the two bolt that support the column under the cowling under plastics and slide the whole assembly up a bit. It will pivot on the U...
Thanks Mark - I'm glad to note that your joint is in the same position as mine fore and aft but low enough to give clearance. I'll check and adjust as you...
Just posted a couple of pictures of my dashboard which I covered with carbon fibre if any body wants to see. Its in the 'miscelaneous' folder. Its not perfect...
Nick, the dashboard part wasn't too tricky, just had to release the dials from their mountings and keep them out the way and then stick the carbon fibre to the...
