Mgb Steel Dash Conversion Kit on 2040-parts.com
Poolesville, Maryland, US
I bought a 1967 MGB GT to use parts for restoring another 67 GT. I decided to put together a kit to convert a later model MGB to the steel dash. In putting the kit together I cut out the steel cowl that goes behind the dash from end to end and through the slots for the defroster vents. I managed to keep three 0f the four vent holes. This piece will need some work but is required to do the conversion correctly. There is a cover that will hide the seam anyway. I also have a new never installed speaker console from later model British spec cars that will correctly fit the later model tunnel.
The kit includes;
The dash with glove box
Steel cowl and cover, the cover is recently replaced with a new one
New dash pad ($135 alone for a new one)
New speaker console ($140), new grill ($15), new bezel ($48) and a new wood backing plate that isn't even listed
Bracket for turn indicator lights which I don't know is available, along with other misc parts but no gauges
IF YOU WANT THAT OLD SCHOOL METAL DASH LOOK AND WANT TO DO IT RIGHT THIS IS THE KIT FOR YOU, IT HAS EVERYTHING MAJOR YOU WILL NEED!

Ford rolls out 2010 model line
Tue, 21 Jul 2009Ford's big stars for the 2010 model year are obviously the Mustang and Taurus. But less flashy--and perhaps nearly as important--are more subtle improvements throughout its product portfolio, including nicer interiors and a fine-tuned version of Sync that could help the Blue Oval win customers and improve its image in the marketplace. The idea is to fortify its lineup with refinements "experienced immediately in a five-minute test drive," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford's group vice president of global product development.

Wed, 16 Sep 2009The Piquet accident at Singapore which probably wasn't an accident at all Oh, dear. But it was hard to get your head round the allegations being false, particularly as they were backed up by three-times world champion Piquet Snr. It’s one thing to indulge your offspring, but it’s hard to believe that Dad would back son unless he was convinced.
