Dashboard options

Post by alfi68s »

Hello and a happy new year to everyone.
I'm looking to replace my dashboard ( 2 piece) on my '68 as it is cracked. I've looked through the previous threads regarding replacements but as i understand it there currently isn't a reproduction dashboard that is any good?
Has anyone recently replaced their dashboard and if so which one did you buy and how accurate are they?
Options seem to be:
Car point.de
Aase in the states
Al confine in Italy.
Any others ?
Alternatively, does anyone have a good condition 1968 dash they would like to sell?
Thanks.
Alfie

Although mine is a later dash (1972) I repaired the cracks with PU and the recovered it with a suitable vinyl. Not easy but certainly it is possible to get a good result.

Thanks for replies, forgot about lakewell although I think they are supplied by carpoint.
Does anyone have any experience buying a replacement dashboard?
Keen for some first hand knowledge.
Thanks
