Do an FAQ/or have pictures for fitment of a curley carbon dash, as im in the market for one around november time, and i have not a clue how they fit. Are they pop riveted to the front windscreen 'rail'? Also what have people done with their steering columns, do you need a UJ?

I dint know about the fitting, but I would guess you would use a "column drop" to lower the wheel. Its a steel bracket, normally costs about 4 quid.

lol guessworks, i meant tips/hints, im sure theyre not as straightforward as they seem...

that drop brackets the same as i have at the moment mat, i was more thinking of how to extend the gear inkage, possibly with a universal joint.

It is a bit of a pain re-locating you choke cable. you also need a longer choke cable than standard as the only place strong enough for it is on the centre console. This still flexes the hole dash when you use it.

I have got 4 screws in total to locate the dash in position. the dash itself sits on the top dash rail. A screw at either end holds it flush with the bottom dash rail. There is also a screw either side of the centre console that fit it to the exhaust tunnel. Then when I fit my roll cage it is flush with the bottm dash rail and therfore traps the dash between it and the dash rail which fixes the dash reallly securely.

I extended Heater lever usings some stiff metal wire.
