Default Changing the dash on my 87 Autokraft MkIV Cobra

G'Day All

I am the proud new owner of a 1987 Autokraft Cobra MkIV (AK1201) and one of the things I am planning to do is to change the dash setup. It has actually already have a makeover to look more like the AC 289 MkIII configuration however they used the old Autokraft dash as a donor and although it generally 'looks the part', dimensionally, it is all wrong and I feel a car of this magnitude should have such an update done correctly with attention to detail (see pic)

So I am looking to replace it with a 'correct' 66/67 AC 289 MkIII dash template and wonder if there is anyone who makes the aluminium templates for the Autokraft car. I already have the gauges etc so really only need the aluminium panel although a complete dash with correct gauges and switches would be very much of interest.

Failing availability of that I would also consider a Shelby MkIII Roadster dash instead of which I have seen a few conversions already on the net, including original factory upgrades.

Additionally could you tell me what 'indicator light switch' is normally used on the AC 289 MkIII? It is something else that will need replacing

Thanks in advance for your thoughts
