Re: 1934 roadster dash
Perhaps your chances will increase if you also consider a '33 phaeton/roadster dash which was the same for both LHD and RHD vehicles along with a early '34 instrument panel insert that was employed to use up an excess of leftover '33 dashes. The early '34 instrument panel insert offers the advantage of it not being limited to specific body types.

Re: 1934 roadster dash
Thats a 1934 open car (not cabriolet).
Pretty rare as it is a standard dash due to no ashtray or cigar lighter. |

Re: 1934 roadster dash
Trevor Poulsen in Queensland may be a good contact for a dash.
He will no doubt see your post. |

1933 Ford Right Hand Drive Dash. Notice that Tabs on the back of the Dash for the Instrument Panel and the Glove Box Lid are the same. |

Re: 1934 roadster dash
Close up shot showing that a Right Hand Drive Dash can be used as a Left hand Drive Dash, as they are identical on the rear. |

Re: 1934 roadster dash
Keith,
It's a standard '34 RHD dash of the type with an integral instrument panel, i.e. manufactured after the surplus of '33 dashes had been exhausted. |

Re: 1934 roadster dash
For the deluxe ,the 33 ashtray is slightly different than a 34 although the faceplate is identical.

Re: 1934 roadster dash
Good point, Sheldon, as you have to match the ash tray to the dash or modify the dash.
