Sadly Wayne passed away in 2020. Wayne Rosberg posted his drawing on his old website and it has appeared on the Triumph Experience web forum. Wayne's pdf's were converted to DXFs but were then heavily edited and errors corrected, including changes to the outlines. They are in no way a direct copy of Wayne's work. Measurements from my own GT6 dash were also utilized. For some of the variants positioning of some components were derived from photos posted online. There are a surprising number of original Spitfire and GT6 dashboard variations. I started this project in order to CNC route a dash for a GT6 I am restoring. However, it quickly became apparent that it would be easy to extend this to just about every type of "3 panel" Spit/GT6 cases. The exception is the early dash boards where the panels is have a slightly different outline. In addition, data on hole sizes for the center panel are required. I hope to add this in the future. How it works: Generic "blank" STL's for the dash panels are imported. Pre-canned cutouts for various stock gauges, switches, and indicators are then subtracted from the templates. Generic round and square counterbore routines are provided in order to accommodate even more modern switches for custom dash layouts. There are then pre-canned layouts provided for all variations of stock dashboards that I have observed by looking at a multitude of online photos. I have also provided some custom layouts. There is the ability to add a custom text logo at any y position on the center panel. OpenSCAD makes handling the various types fairly easy. I have added the ability to handle LHD and RHD cases. In addition a custom dashboard can easily be generated. STL files can be generated, however for CNC routing a dash in wood then DXF files are more desirable. This code will generate both. You will have some minor massaging to utilize the DXF's for CNC routing, But I've done the best I can. This is a work in progress if you find an issue please leave me a comment on the Thingiveres project page and I will make revisions as I am able. Alternatively send me an email mowog59@gmail.com Buying me a cup of coffee on my PayPal tip page may expedite revisions!
