DanTR6 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase a new center switch plinth for the TR6? Or does anyone have a good secondhand one? I purchased a new one from one of the well known suppliers, it’s cracked and has chunks out of the coating - they won’t send a replacement as the rest of the stock is the same and these are 'usually like this' apparently, don’t you love it when people knowingly send duff parts!

Where did you buy that one from? TR Shop ones are usually pretty good. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mk2 Chopper Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I got mine from Moss, although not quite as good as original it still looks great once installed. Gareth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casar66 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Dan, would you please let us know if the one from the TR-Shop is good enough for a replacement? My one is beginning to decompose. Same with the crash pads. What I have seen so fare has not convinced me to go for a change. They all looked cheap.

They all looked cheap. will do, it says its yellow foam like the original so at least I know its not the same part that I have currently which is black foam - it is almost double the price though so hopefully thats reflected in the quality.

Andy i was thinking of that, but i think you would need to do all the dash pads so it didn't look out of place, plus the ends of mine have physically gone now its so bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PodOne Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Mine are tatty so I'm going to give it ago at repairing the foam and covering . Might as well nothing to loose if they don't turn out well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xmas6 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just recovered the crash pads dash top and plinth with leather effect vinyl from flea bay and aerosol glue from Screwfix. I’m reasonably pleased with the pads but still trying to get the plinth right, I’m not giving up yet! The vinyl was about £9.00 a meter so it’s cheap enough to try several times to get it right cheers Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tr shop dont have any stock, an american supplier apparently and not very likely to be getting any more. Not sure on my chances of finding a good second hand one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

II did try re-covering my original by vacuum forming vinyl. I got close, but could never completely eliminate the wrinkles at some of the outside corners. I know some people have done it with seams at the corners. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
