Carbon fiber custom dash

Sierra Composites has supplied customers carbon fiber sheet to build custom dash gauge and switch panels for the custom street cars as well as race cars. We are regularily asked what thickness of carbon fiber sheet should I use to build my custom dash with.  There are really only two choices depending on what you are building. The first option is our .041″ carbon sheet thickness, this is a perfect thickness for a small panel with a switch and a lightweight gauge or two that has some basic mounting support such as in a street car console area would have. But for a complete custom dash with regular gauges you would need to use our .059″ carbon fiber sheet. This material can use a larger span between the mounting and support and is overall stronger to handle full size gauges. The .059″ sheet is what our race car customers regularily use when building their dash gauge cluster. 

You could also use our Basalt fiber / Carbon fiber hybrids as a lower cost alternative.
