so I'm on abit of a weight saving mission ATM(trying to offset cage weight)
The car looks like this ATM
I plan to get something done about the heavy ass metal that makes up the dash skeleton and I will be having a dashboard, this is just to get it to cage fabricators.
Now I'm on the dashboard itself, removed all the obvious crap like heater ducts etc but there is still a real heavy portion to this dash, the black strip up along the left.
So what can we do about this? Has anyone just removed it before? There must be about 25kg in screws in this dash lol
Problem with just removing it/cutting it is the dash mounts in the centre to the chassis, I want to keep this central mount really.
Also anything else I can do that anyone can see to shed some weight around the dash area? Obviously heater matrix and some wiring but think creative.... Needs to look semi respectable really just to make it more difficult lol
