Hello there, I'm from Holland, so excuse me for any English mistakes
I'm currently looking to replace my leather dashboard for a Walnut one. I have found 2 options now (one on Ebay), but I'm not sure it wil fit my RHD 1980 4/4.
Is the length of every Morgan dash te same? My'n is app.111cm.

I have a 2012 Walnut dash for a Plus 4 that I no longer use however I am absolutely certain that it would be very different to yours and I think your dash may be narrower too.

Borghi in Milan stocks a good selection of beautifully made dashboards and would probably have one that would suit your car. If it is not in stock it can be made for you.

Some examples are on this web page.

Please notice, that all the instruments, switches and so on have to fit!

Thank you Peter. I know that there are beautiful new dashes for sale. But they are a little to expensive for me. So a used one with a little work would be perfect for me.
Can you messure the one you have, and pherhaps post a photo?

Anthony. I will measure it but the whole system in instruments and switches would be entirely different to yours. I doubt very much that it would suit you.



This was my original dash which I have now replaced.

Yours is really very awesome Peter! I hope to achieve the same result in the end.
But yeah, mine should be a RHD, and suitable for 4 50mm and 2 100 mm gauges witch I already have. Thank you Peter!

I have made several in the past. If you have a jigsaw you are 80% done.

I found both of these helpful to make and veneer my own dash. Gorilla Glue worked really well. Bought my veneer from Capital Crispin who will send samples (big enough to make a tiny practice dashboard.)
