None of my Mk 1's or 2's have a crash / dash pad , but I've been searching
for it and researching it for a few years and AFAIK and IMHO all Mk 1's and
Mk 2's should have the protruding centre section over the instrument panel .
Unfortunately correct / original crash pads are no longer available ( or
maybe suppliers just don't want to send it to the " Dark " continent ) and
second hand ones are usually scarce , damaged and / or extremely expensive .
But I'll take a cracked one if not extremely expensive :-)
I think John Thomason mentions the specific reasons for the protruding
centre section in his Spitfire & GT 6 guide to originality . Something to do
with glare and reflections .
I could be wrong though .
Kind regards .

Subject: Mk1 Spit Crash Pad Survey
I just found another one and want to ask all those who own Mk1's what you
have.
The car I just picked up has an intact (but cracked) crash pad. Upon close
examination I noticed
that it is different from what I have on Huxley.
The difference is in the contour of the part that sticks out over the dash.
I need to take a survey of Mk1's to see who has the straight ones and who
has the protruding ones. Please give your commission number along with the
type you have.
Regards,
Joe Curry
