How can you prefer the samurai dash with that big slab of cheap plastic in the middle?
About the only good thing about it is that a CB fits in the ashtray hole

I might actually fit a 410 dash in my Lwb
The original metal dash is the best of all though!

Beacause you plate it over other with ali and put gauges and other bits on it! True metal or ali dashes are the way foward!

You can plate the whole length of an early dash

this is what I'm gonna do to my 410.
Either that or make a new alloy dash?

True but my metal work skills lack that! Make a new ali one
