hi there i dont have a z-cars but i figured this was the best place to ask.

i have a full rollcage in my mini, the dash rail has been removed and the cage has a dash bar.

im having problems finding a decent dashboard that will be easy to fit using the dash bar as you lot have cages i was wondering what you had done for dashboard when the dash rail has been removed?

cheers

so nearly 100 people have looked at this and none of you have removed the dash rail from your shell and fitted a dashboard in...?

I think generally people have just cut slots in the side of the Z Cars type dash, then fabricated their own brackets.

You don't remove the dash rail for a standard kit as they don't have a bar across the bottom of the dash. I think the race kit does but as these are quite new there aren't many ready yet and i'm sure z-cars will have designed them to fit with most dashes.

To fit a z's stylr fibreglass or a curley carbon dash, I would weld a bracket on each side of the car, roughly where your bottom dash rail would have been, obviously a bit higher or lower depending on where your dash bar is. Preferably with captive nuts so you can then fix dash to top dash rail and to these brackets at bottom corners of chosen dash.
