Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Brushed Ali dash, who makes em?

evening all, have watched many a youtube video and I have spotted a few of our machines with a brushed ali dash which looks amazing, were or are they a factory extra or third party addition and who does if so ?, very tempted I think that dash with an aircraft style dash would look smashing

in the USA it's Morgan West that I bought mine from.

they are aftermarket items, I had a said but then sold them when I decided to order in the new model dash. Mine were from MorganWest.

Thank you Gentlemen

I think it's an engine turning rather than a brushed finish you are after. As mentioned, Melvyn Rutter does pre-cut stainless steel panels or you could cut your own from sheet, maybe Europa?

They are called Engine ( or Machine) Turned .

Uncle Mel sells them ...not expensive from memory...which is v unusual for Mr Rutter!!!

Hi Speed,

Since you inquired about engine turned dash panels I decided to prematurely give you a sneak peak of my winter project. It's almost complete.

This is an engine turned .063" DGL-50 pattern ( 1/2" swirls ) stainless steel dash panel fabricated by FPM Metals in Nebraska. Their work is exemplary and they have replicated engine turned panels for Bugatti and Deusenberg. In general design terms, the smaller the panel the smaller the swirl diameter and vice versa. The DGL-50 pattern from FPM Metals is appropriate for the M3W dash. I provided all accurate tracings. I used the standard leather panels as a template for the sides and modified the standard central aluminum panel for the center. I redesigned the mounting system for the tachymeter and speedometer and designed new stainless steel bezels which have been fabricated but not highly polished yet. I've included a picture of one of the bezels before final polish. Also being fabricated are highly polished smooth stainless steel toggle switches. All this is simply a cosmetic makeover. I would liked to have used retro analog type gauges but didn't want to mess around with electrical changes so our stock speedometer and tachymeter are used, so all functionality is the same including the toggle switches.

I had the plastic housing for the steering column professionally painted gloss black and polished the Brooklands steering wheel. My custom Mike Lempert English Walnut steering wheel is almost finished as well.

Will provide a picture when all finished. It's been a lot of fun bringing all this together.

Absolutely beautiful....
