John, please post a photo of your speedometer?
This does look like a nice setup.Playing with the graphics, if I were doing one now I’d go with the Century font, standard ticking, and Day – Silver dial // black font Night – Dial Blue GlowEither way, beats the heck out of my old VW speedo with a white sticker on it, looks-wise.But I still got t… -

Heat insulation and sound insulation are different. Most heat insulation is lightweight, open cell, fiberglass, etc. I’ve got some of that in Bridget’s engine bay, up against the front bulkhead. It does help tamp down the sound, but it’s not really made for that. The Dynamat and similar stuff is heavy, closed cell, rubbery stuff. It will tamp down…[Read more]

From my upcoming “Random Strangers Sitting in My Car” blog post. This is the girl from the New Chinese Boys carry-out up the road from my house. I came out of the liquor store next to it and saw her taking phone pics though her store’s window; offered to take one of her in it. -

Speedster guys swear by Dynamat but they tend to have money.

I know that part. As I recall, it is part of the frame brace that holds the windscreen frame together. If I were you I’d take the screen apart to see how to improve it. No idea where you’d get a new one. The design is slightly different from a TD.

edward ericson replied to the topic Genuine Dash? in the forum My Project 9 years, 11 months ago
That sounds like something FF might do. Or could be FF kits came with something like a wiring diagram, rather than any actual wires.
Chiming in on the dash: The BCW was a tad narrower than the original TD dash–at least the one I bought, which was an original, not a repro.Another detail to note on the legit TD dash is the shallow relief for the… -

Looks like a valiant attempt to mate a VW-based Fiberfab kit to an MGB chassis. Not for the faint of heart, I’d think.edsnova2015-06-23 13:49:36
