Hi has anyone bought, Burr walnut wooden dash for cars with the 3 clock cluster plus 3 extra gauge holes from minspares?

Mine i just noticed has some hefty ugly cracks...and having OCD i must get a new one :thumbsup:

How close are they to the origonals..ie chrome suround round the holes (or are thay part of the dials) ?
Also i cant really make out from the picture, is there a space for the stereo?

Do they come with a new fitting kit.

Dash linky.

Any info would be great thanks

Dont know about Mini Spares but this place might be of interest. I have never bought from them but may well be shortly.

Minispares tell me you have to drill extra holes if you need inserts for airbag warning light + headlamp adjuster. Looks like it's the same for the other firm. You have to beware of damaging the veneer.

Maybe roofless would be able to make a cover for the whole thing?

There was a dash on eBay which sold for £90 recently... clicky

As you can see the piece your after is missing... so it makes me think whether you can buy it seperatly?
