I decided on a simple wet carbon layup for the dash. I just couldn’t see the point in doing a resin infusion or vac bag. It doesn’t need to be that strong or structurally perfect. I only used 330 grams of epoxy and 1.4m of carbon (about 300grams) so the dash probably weighs about 600 grams. Not a bad saving.

I now need to make up a switch panel/centre console and figure out the ignition switch. This dash is much more compact than the old one. Where the ‘key’ was is now out of reach. I either extend the harness and put the ‘key’ within reach, or I finally install the push button starter panel I bought a few years back but decided not to use because it was actually heavier than the stock plastic rotary ignition switch.
