Help I need a new dash pad


Recommended Posts

A little help please.

The ******y bodyshop I went to ruined my nice dash pad by peeling it back over itself and splitting it.

 

I have Googled and found a splendid new one on offer (original grain and foam former) from a supplier in the USA at a very reasonable $118 HOWEVER the total including postage to the UK is £208 (and the ad doesn't even mention customs import duty and VAT). Have you noticed how well Triumphs and British Sports cars are provided for in the US?

 

Anyway does anyone know anywhere in the UK where I can buy a replacement Dash Top complete with foam former? I am not up to re-trimming myself as the ones I have seen look too home made for my liking.

Thanks guys

Charles

Charles,

 

There are repair kits that can work wonders, although

it obviously depends on the extent of the split.

 

A black glue/goo is used which is then imprinted with

the same grain effect as the original.

 

It would need a bit of practice to get it right (or let the

professionals do it).

Hi Roger,

 

Do you know where from? Mine has a 2" split near the screen frame.

 

Thanks,

Dave,

 

I don't have hands-on experience but I have seen

the product advertised and it seems to do what it

says on the box.

 

There were about three fairly minor splits similar to

the one you describe - two in the crash pads and

one in the dash top, when I gave TR 2100 to TR

Enterprises for restoration. Now, I really cannot

see where the cracks were.

 

There must be someone out there who knows the

name of the stuff - anyone?

Sorry Roger it was meant for Alan. A slight loss of concentration, unfortunately down to old age!! Why do I need to PM Him?

 

Regards,

Dave
