Gary Tyrrell\'s interior

looks good mate, you\'re right, really does brighten up the interior, and matches your wheel well

i\'ve only managed to completely remove the gearbox/ ashtray panel. i\'m having a lot of trouble fully removing the heater controls panel, and the gauge cluster panel. how do you actually get these panels out?

MSC125,

Sound\'s like you have removed all the necessary screws, you have to remove the nut from around the fan control switch and then the panel should come away.

The gauge cluster is only screwed in a couple of places at the bottom edge, it comes away complete with the top cowel which is held in by spring clips. You will find this easier to do if you remove the steering wheel and indicator/wiper switch cowel. Take care with top cowel as this gets quite brittle with age.

Hope this helps,


Kev

cheers fd3uk, i got the heater panel off now. turns out the cable coming from behind the controls was doubled over on itself and had a cable tie on it, but once i got this off, the panel came out ok.

i\'ve painted the gearbox panel, and it looks niiiice!! :cool  but when i sprayed lacquer on it, it was just too shiny. is it ok to leave the paint without lacquer, or will it be susceptible to scratches? are there any other clear topcoats that give a matt finish?

eatmyrx7dust: from the pic yours doesn\'t look too shiny, it\'s jsut right! did you put lacquer on it?

cheers

Hi,

Nice work on those consoles!

I am going to do mine next week while the car is being resprayed. I was just wondering if anyone experiences a lot of glare from having a light coloured cover under the windscreen?

Thanks
