I don't have any jigs left. If anyone wants to make some, go for it. I suggest steel over aluminum so it will last longer.
Just a thought for Herman, I bet you could get $50+ more per dash if you offered it. It only takes about an hour to drill all the holes. |
In the interest of helping the guys, I may just do that.
At which year did the strip(of no Holes) in the center start, as I would need to know which is which.
Will make a jig and get it done.

This wait is every bit as hard as Christmas eve for my kids. I thought my only option was going to be the empi cover, but they just look cheesy.
Quality takes time, I keep repeating to myself, but I sure wish Christmas would hurry up and get here! _________________ 1974 412 variant

OK, so have placed a spot booking on the machinery
Awaiting a slot and then the process will begin.
Should have them well before Xmas.
As this is a lengthy process, we should be done soon.

Darn, read it too fast, didn't see that these are the later dashes. I'll try to be patient, and wait for the wraparounds. _________________ 1974 412 variant

Herman... I'll take 2 wraparounds with speaker holes and the remaining 4 LHD ones all with split speaker grilles if you don't mind me taking a few weeks to scrape together the cash as I'm sure shipping will be a real gem on the parcel.
I think that now that you are making them with speaker holes you'll find demand actually increasing. They were a better substitute than the JC Whitney late dash piece of crap everyone sold before but now they are correct enough to make even a purist like me wonder why I should spend a grand or more for a nice original when these are now available. From what I see these look great, and I plan on running one in the '63 rather than installing my good original.
Great work! You are the MAN. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

Agreed. I can't decide which one to get, as my 65 Notch doesn't have the upper trim pieces for the wrap around to "blend" into. I'm also thinking about getting a replacement pad for my wife's 70 Fastback too. But at the moment funds are low, and the list of projects is getting big. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof
