Default Wraith dashboard too wide ?

I'm feeling dumb, I don't see that any one else has asked this... I'm building my kit Wraith. I've trimmed and painted the interior. It seems like my dash is too wide. Every position seems to make it bend when I assemble the cage around it. I'm reasonably confident I trimmed the dashboard correctly. Any thoughts ?

Yea mine built up the same way. I think the problem is it's only mounted in the center. Trim to fit and if it still bothers you try a heat gun and take the bow out. Good luck

Having a picture of it would really help. Without seeing, we can't really tell you if it is right or not.

Yeah, I'll try to get some photos later this evening. It just seems it will be hard to get proper perspective in a photograph. I'll do my best. I appreciate your interest.

Well, I got the interior to fit. I had trimmed to the cut lines. There was still some fitting, to get the mounting holes aligned. Once that was correct, the dash slipped between the A pillars correctly. At the rear corners, I found a 'gusset' at floor level. The cut lines didn't seem to account for it. Once I fit
the rear corners around that gusset, the floor pan fit nice and flush.
