brainstorm internal structural components to maintain dash rigidity and lightness
leaning towards flat fibreglass panels with various cutouts
Take into account where glove compartment storage and electrical enclosure will be and incorporate into panel design
also try to brainstorm ventilation routing
go with 60-80% of 1/4" thickness
Leaning towards big parts that we cut away after
Driver’s Side:
Still unclear on what the thickness of dashboard is - don’t know how many internal supports that can fit
For now, considering two for driver’s side
As seen on 1), there is a concept of two teeth-like openings on top of each other.
Cables would fit in each ‘tooth’ and not get tangled or move around much
May allow for better cable management
Could label each teeth for certain grouping of cables
Same teeth-like openings would be present on 2) if necessary
Passenger Side:
Same teeth-like openings as seen in Driver’s Side
This CAD of dashboard shell does not indicate where glove compartment storage will be - can’t tell how many internal supports can fit
For now, am considering two panels.
Again, there would be two panels, one on each side, each with teeth-like openings
