sp4x4 TD5 style dash

has anyone done the td5 style dash from sp4x4 here? I haven't see much about this and the 1 post I saw on it wasn't good on DS.

Or you could go straight to a Puma style retrofit with a kit that uses your existing instruments etc

I put in one of the ministry of defender dashes into my 110. I think it's very good, strong and neat. When I start my 90 build I'll get the same. I'd describe my SP doors as ok and had no problems with dealing with them, so take from that what you will.

Wow that is horrendous money!!!

How are you meant to get to the vents with such a dashboard? Can't really see the point of it tbh.

I guess it depends what you want to do with your truck.

I fitted a genuine LR Puma dash to my TD5 and used the Ministry of Defender aircon retrofit which works very well, so I have permanently sealed the vents.

It's been an expensive journey as there are lots of other things that need dealing with (instruments, gearstick etc) but modernising the truck is 'my thing', so kits like this will find their way to people like me! TD5 hardtop to Puma inspired Poptop - my build thread

I have the MOD Aircon as well. I just like the flat plain dash style. This is what I have now

Yep, I can vouch for it too - got it working seamlessly in my TD5/Puma hybrid! TD5 hardtop to Puma inspired Poptop - my build thread
