I want to keep my dash simple and make minimal cuts in the dash. Everything else will be mounted on the top in gauge pods.

Tim, have you bought your trim rings? I've been looking for a set for the van and saw sets specific for VW buses and Vanogens on ebay motors for cheaper than JC Whitney. Search 14" trim ring.

Got my new Pirelli P4's (195/70/14) mounted and balanced yesterday.  Today I installed my new reservoirs and picked up my new speedbleeders. 

I was a little too excited to get it done that I forgot to hook up my brake lines to the master cylinder.  Imagine how Peeed off I was when I saw brake fluid all over my floor after pumping my brake 4 or 5 times.  I'm such a n00b. 

Anyway... Got it all hooked up and cleaned up the mess and washed off everything.  I'll finish it all up tomorrow and get my rear wheels installed. And get the bus down off the jacks.
