Trev 192 V8 dashboard

I read all the comments that were posted with some dismay, as my dash was flaking badly. Fortunately
I have a "craftsman in wood" in the family and after many hours he has created a Burr Walnut Veneer dashboard and switch plate of superb quality and attention to detail. He says he can supply them for half the £600 quoted on this site by post or if the car is taken to him these can be fitted for an extra £50.00, you don't even have to remove the dash as it fits straight on top, if you are interested contact Andy at donna@mattyscottage.fsnet.co.uk he should have some photographs that he can mail you.

Chris...

I don't know if you have read many of the other posts - RE: DASH, but does your wooden family member have a template for the dash...?

I have access to laser cuting steel or stainless... A few would like to see or have their S dash in metal...

Cheers

Dave

Template. Template. Please

Chris, the idea of getting a new wood dash and just slotting it in is a very tempting one (and an option us S owners have been missing) so thanks for the offer. A few months ago I'd be very interested indeed - but, after stripping all the old wood off I'm one of those who would like to get a stainless dash.

Any chance of a template for Bridgdav to work his magic?
