RHD Sierra Dash Casting

I have a number of Sierra rally and touring car modls to build, many of which should technically be right hand drive. I have the Tamiya Sierra XR4i kit as well so I have a RHD dash I could try and cast but never having done this before I wondered if anybody could give me some tips or perhaps point me to a how-to?

Alternatively, if anybody has already done this and a RHD is available please let me know.

TIA

AJ

A how to on casting? I could swear there is one in the How To section.

Oh yeah, now I see em, thank you. Not sure I am up for that for one part, I guess it could become addictive though...

This may be helpfull, never casted anything myself but I am thinking about it. Would like to find somebody here in The Netherlands with experience so I can learn.

There is a caster here in Australia who sells resin RHD sierra dashes. They aren't a great fit to the Sierra Touring Car kits but not that bad with a bit of work. Don't have the details at hand but I think he is only contactable over the phone unfortunately.

Whilst we are on this subject...... doesn't at least one of Tamiya's Sierra touring cars come with a RHD dash?
The one molded in white... Tampio? if I remember correctly

I've been meaning to pick one up to do a Brock 05 build.

No not the touring cars. They're both LHD.
