You need to make brackets to attach to the bulkhead, just some L brackets,
I'll take pictures of the way I fit it. I haven't fitted one yet!
Obviously fitting original dials wouldn't be an option!

Not sure, I won't be running a heater matrix as I'm havig a heated windscreen.
I'll try and see if it will fit if I can find the heater matrix and get the dash to the car,
Could Always look to use a classic mini heater matrix they are smaller??

My friend supplies them, as a business, he has them made by someone else but won't be telling anyone where he gets them from for obvious reasons. He doesn't use forums/Internet etc hence me offering to sort out for people.
I won't bother in future

As I mentioned before Will doesn't use the forums, and isn't keen on posting the dashes.
I was offering to get them and send them out to people if they wanted them. He lives half an hour from me. And I don't work for Free!
Contact Will if you want one, he might post if you ask him very nicely.

Dude, you really don't get it do you.
Will wont post them, Nick lives close to Will & is offering to help people out by going to pick them up & then post them out to people - which means you don't have to drive from up "Norf" all the way down south to pick it up

I already spoke to will before I posted that, I even called him from overseas so not much chance of a pick up. What we have here is a classic case of someone else trying to make a buck on the back of someone else, Will is even advertising on Facebook!
Its quite clear nick was tying to make a buck and was prepared to lose business before he revealed any details.
Besides who said anything about postage being my only option? We all know from reading the above posts if I wanted to pick up Nick would still be after his cut.
"If you want one, by one from me" was what he said, let's be clear about the tone of that and what it means.
Just because you buy something no-one else has, it doesn't give you exclusive rights to it. I have never understood this mindset, if one of my mates was in business selling whatever items, i'd put anyone who wants one into contact with them, not try and take my cut on the back of him - that is a despicable act - especially when you are prepared to lose sales. It's clear Will never asked anyone to keep his details secret.
If Nick wanted to help he could have been transparent from the start and made a statement as such:
They are available from Will at WAS Racing for £130 pick up only, however, if you want one posted they are £150 + P&P available through myself.
Would that not have been more reasonable thing to have said?
What we got was:
"If you want one you can buy one from me. If you dont want to buy one from me don't bother."
Might be just me, but I'm not finding that very helpful...

The reason I didn't mention they are £130 is because people like yourself would assume I'm making millions off the back of them and robbing you all blind.
Will offered the dashes to me and also said if I want to sell them on by all means carry on.
I also mentioned to him about people being interested on here and he said he doesn't use the forums.
The ONLY reason I added money on top was to cover my time and fuel to collect them and post them which if you look at it, £15 of the £20 would be fuel!
So I guess the £5 was the quick buck I was making, roll on early retirement

At the end of the day does it actually matter if nick is supplying them?
GMC buy and sell parts I suppose you go to John every time you want to buy and ask for his suppliers contact details.
Time is money but Nick is far from a con artist like your posts seem to be trying to insinuate.

Who cares what hes making if your happy buying it for 130/150/300 because its what you want/need then who cares what hes making... It makes my blood boil when someone finds out what you bought it for then wants it cheaper than what you just agreed... PISS OFF!! Its my good fortune i got it for that good price... And when you think about it fiberglassing place on canvey can make a mould for 200quid then the manufactuing costs (labour and materials) for each item on top... If each one costs 100 quid to produce and sold for 120-130 thats 10 needed to be sold to break even of the moulding cost before the profits...
