View under the dash.
I figured I would share this because I know how difficult it is to find info, details, specs etc. on these cars. I am swapping out my dash for a carbon fiber one and newer backlit LED gauges and indicator lights. Here is what it looks like under your dash. Wires come marked as to connection. Might help someone some day.

spent a ton of time cleaning up the wiring on this build... the relays shown are for Megasquirt EFI, ran a dedicated 10AWG wire to the battery - terminal to eliminate chassis noise issues for sensitive electronics...

I am up in the air with that. I have seen them mounted on the dash and it looks neater. I will probably look at doing that. Got all the steering parts today minus the lower ujoint. That will here next week. Those Woodward people were very helpful on the phone. They pretty much told me they can put together any two different ends on ujoint. Going to test the steering out and decide on the heim joint stabilizer. Thanks for the help.

Came out great
All done except for a few minor details and the mounting of the Heater controls. I would like to find a red anodized ignition key switch bezel to match the rest of the controls. LED backlit autometer gt gauges are sharp. The LED idiot lights are a nice touch. Bright. Now on to the steering upgrade.

Key Bezel
Thanks. Looking for a red anodized to replace the cheap chrome plastic bezel for the key.

Reviving an old thread. FredG or anyone else who has done this, did you use a drill-based hole saw to cut the gauge holes? Any issues with chipping? I have an undrilled carbon fiber dash on the way and I want to make sure that I'm using the right tool for the job.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I haven't worked with carbon fiber, but I have with fiberglass. One trick is to start the cut by running the hole saw backwards so the teeth don't dig in. After it has worn a hole through the outer layer, reverse the saw and proceed slowly and lightly.

The "carbon" dashes from Iconic are fiberglass with a layer of carbon fabric on top. I have always used regular drill bits and hole saws. Make sure to cover the entire face with blue tape while you are cutting/drilling holes.

Carbon fiber Dash
Yes. Regular drill bits and nice and sharp hole saws. Also, a lot of measuring and re-measuring.
