Roll Cage through Dash

[Davo106]

Anyone got pics of how they've cut the dash for cage to fit? I've had a quick look but all i can seem to find is dash dodgers :(

normally cut it from windscreen side with small grinding/cutting wheel on a dremmel type item, take some measurements and cut it out bit by bit, trial fitting regular to get the right size :y:

As above, you can also use a hacksaw.

i think davos got a flocked dash? or am i dreaming? if its flocked id be wary of the hacksaw as you may end up damaging the flock in places

but i may be making flocked bit up? lol, in which case it wont really matter too much long as your not heavy handed with it

[Davo106]

Not got a flocked dash atm mate, Plan on getting the 106 dash flocked though.

[blackie_2k5]

ah well, hacksaw will be sweet then

could also use a jigsaw, but make sure you tape all the dash up if using a jigsaw or itll probs mark the bit your not removing aswell

i just used a 4 1/2" grinder with a 1mm thin cutting disc to cut the majority out.. then tidied it up with with a P120 flap disc:

i then decided the gaps either side looked gash and cut up another dash for 2 infill pieces:

these are held in place with a 30x3mm thick strip of ally on the underside and 4x (2 in the dash, 2 in the infill pieces) M5 countersink bolts.. once flocked and black ally bolts it should be fairly discreet....

If you have a flocked dash dont worry about damaging it, trust me if its been done properly you will never ever damaged the flocking or pull it off, its on there for good ;)

I threw that dash in the skip a few months ago, was abit of a state but repairable.
