not to much had to cut it down width ways about 50mm and then rejoined it , and just recut the front profile to match the curve of the front screen.then you have to create some way to mount the thing (harder than getting it to fit i reckon)

the dash has been mounted for ages( maybe even a year) i basically had to refit it around the role cage, which involves threading the dash onto the front/upper section and then mating the cage to it mounts and sliding up the dash to its mounts, damm hard on your own, but it works and lets the cage pass through the dash as apposed to in front of it( a much cleaner look)
