I could visibly see the top of the mounts splitting - so I was confident enough it needed to be done. Upon further inspection against the new mount, you could see the old mounts had kind of compressed diagonally downwards also.

A few more bits have arrived.

Bought some more Jblood parts (door visors and rear spats) ; and a fuel pump cover by Workshop Takumi. As you can see I'm leaning heavily into the carbon fibre.



Also bought a set of Winds Auto mirrors ; saw them in person at 86Fest when Hiromi had them on display. I didn't have the 86 at that point though.



Finally - something I've long wanted, irregardless of the dash condition, I just wanted to tie in the Nardi red stitching, the handbrake red stitching, the red/black matts, the Brixs in red etc. I picked up a Tec-Arts leather wrap/red stitch dash cover.





All of this was arranged by fellow Irish man Andrew Joyce in Japan - https://firstjoyce.com/en-ie - he consolidated the order and sent in one go to myself. Saved a fair few Euro doing that.

Oh man, that dashboard is gorgious

I agree with Ivan: that dashboard cover is gorgeous!
Also good to know the site/company of Andrew. I always see him featured in the Juicebox video's. Neil mentions Andrew has a business, but he never mentions where you can find Andrew's company.

I have the dash fitted now - Its an improvement for sure, but I wasn't aware there would be a gap between the cowl and dials. I might have to mess about with it more. Thankfully it doesn't rattle, which I was concerned about. Its a snug fit though, and on the passenger side, they give you extra foam tape to reduce the gap. The wiper and light controls are pushed in slightly more also, but I reckon I can adjust this more. Overall I am happy.

I'll try and get photos at the weekend to show it setup.
