Mgb Steel Dash Conversion Kit on 2040-parts.com
Poolesville, Maryland, US
I bought a 1967 MGB GT to use parts for restoring another 67 GT. I decided to put together a kit to convert a later model MGB to the steel dash. In putting the kit together I cut out the steel cowl that goes behind the dash from end to end and through the slots for the defroster vents. I managed to keep three 0f the four vent holes. This piece will need some work but is required to do the conversion correctly. There is a cover that will hide the seam anyway. I also have a new never installed speaker console from later model British spec cars that will correctly fit the later model tunnel.
The kit includes;
The dash with glove box
Steel cowl and cover, the cover is recently replaced with a new one
New dash pad ($135 alone for a new one)
New speaker console ($140), new grill ($15), new bezel ($48) and a new wood backing plate that isn't even listed
Bracket for turn indicator lights which I don't know is available, along with other misc parts but no gauges
IF YOU WANT THAT OLD SCHOOL METAL DASH LOOK AND WANT TO DO IT RIGHT THIS IS THE KIT FOR YOU, IT HAS EVERYTHING MAJOR YOU WILL NEED!

2013 Mercedes E Class Facelift: The Video
Sat, 15 Dec 2012We have the first video of the 2013 Mercedes E Class facelift showing the changes Mercedes has made more clearly. Not just the usual nip and tuck you’d expect in a mid-cycle facelift, but real sheet metal changes and proper upgrades as well as the usual lights and bumpers stuff. But however many photos we publish of the 2013 E Class, nothing really gives you a feel for the changes until you see them in the flesh or on the move.
