Has anyone ever made a repro of the innocenti dash for RHD cars? Looking for something different and they are gorgeous, but a bit awkward in LHD in a RHD car! Looked on usual suppliers websites and eBay and can't find anything.

You would need to make an opposite-hand mould and that would be expensive. The original Inno instruments are getting hard to find now as well.
There was never a RHD Innocenti as the licence agreement did not allow it (or so I was told).
The Inno instrument panel does look good though.

Thanks Cooperman, I just wondered if anyone had ever done it as they look great. If they used standard 100mm, 80mm and 52mm gauges then you could stock it with anything. There have been a variety of aftermarket ones like the autoplas but none with the style of the inno one. I guess I could get handy with the mdf and make a buck then have a play and do one in carbon. Just being lazy and hoping someone had already done it. I will have to keep my eyes open at the shows and get some close up pics to copy from.

If you can find a genuine Inno dash you could easily cvonvert your car to LHD.
I was fitting the re-built Veglia tacho to my Inno this afternoon and that dash is superb.

they do awesome but what are you going to use for gauges?

Not sure at the moment, it may sound strange but I quite fancy a total mix, no two the same maker. Don't know why but the randomness appeals and would be easier to source!

I just looks like it takes 52 and 80MM gauges to me, not exactly hard to find.

i have an innocenti which ive converted to rhd from LHD. the gauges are a piece of cake to read and it looks pretty good as it is, a decent inno dash with gauges will cost you £300 off ebay ive tried to poast a picture but god only knows how to make it work, https://plus.google....=COXW5ffep4OmcA

My friend made one for his then girlfriend's barn-find Inno back in 2000 out of MDF then covered it in black fabric. Granted it wasn't quite right but it did look pretty good. Afraid I don't have pictures though

This is possibly the nicest dash I've ever seen on a Mini. It was on a 1961 850 which was used back then and was one of the most successful rallying 850's ever:
