Xp197777 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 That will be interesting Chris I haven’t found anyone that’s prepared to take it on yet ,let me know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 tbh Chris, i have not found anyone who can do it properly, and that's why they are hard to get if its bothering you that much, then look at the fibreglass ones as an interim, as your not going to find a good one quick we will just make a big sign up, saying, look at this split dash lol, or look at this repro dash lol tbh, out of hundreds of thousands of visitors, less than 50 will probably look at the inside of your car and if you do a Kellye and lock it up and go home then no one will see it lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich T Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hands up. Ive bought a fibreglass one for mine. Looks the part with a textured finnish etc. Ive been keeping an eye out for a genuine one for almost a year without any luck. Will be fitting it this winter. So will let anyone know (who wants to know) how it looks/fits then. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person selling it to me sead the only feed back he had from customers was the holes in the dash need elongating for the studs in the dash top to fit. But he would say that wouldnt he!

Xp197777 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I’ve had that and the vent holes to small and alignment issues 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexican Gerbil Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I had a fibre glass one and it looked ok but was a very poor fit. It vibrated terribly too ended wedge bits of cardboard under it. The vents didn’t line up either...... The one I have fitted has some small splits around the dash and usually cover then up with a display at car shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich T Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ok. Good to know. I'll now be armed and ready for the problems ahead. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 never bought one personally, but sound like typical re-pro shite, there is a seller on e-bay that does leather covers, not tried those either flocking looks shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 type into e bay, mk1 escort dash top and you will find the covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich T Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Beggars cant be choosers. Ive put about 4k into my car in the last year and this winter its being converted to rhd. There isnt time between now and then to pull a thousand pound rabbit out of a hat for a NOS dash top. So a fibreglass jobbie will have to do. If a minter turns up in the future, money permitting I'll grab it with both hands. Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meXEco Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Exactly-and a flocked dash is better than none in my case-nothing wrong with one my money is better spent elsewhere...cars for driving at the end of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
