walnut dash co

Hi, I have seen a walnut dash kit sold by WDC, but have noticed that on the headlight switch panel they supply the holes for the dimmer and headlight height adjusters are horizontal, but on my r75 they are vertical, anyone been caught out??

Well when I fitted mine they were cut and in correct orientation.

Their Brochure shows it properly too.

Do you have a link to incorrecty Cut Out?

Hi Colin

I know the photograph on their spec sheet shows two horizontal slits but don't worry, it is correct as their is no gap between the front & rear foglight switches and the lower headlamp height adjuster and dashboard dimmer switches.

This part of the kit is the one that did cause me a problem (and other owners have also said the same) where it fouled the foglight switches slightly. You just need to cut it very carefully with a very sharp craft kinfe or Stanley blade to make it a larger opening. Be very careful though or you can end up with a ragged edge (like I did) so be sure your blade is sharp!

They have the machine and tooling to make as many as they need but only make a few at a time.
