Hi James,
I recently had my dash, binnacle, knee pad, and top of the centre console retrimmed. I used a chap called Nick Fulcher based in Hethersett which is just down the road from me and I could not believe it when he worked on the prototype DeLorean in Detroit! Check out the following link: www.coachtrimmer.co.uk/ourwork.html
Anyway, the results were fantastic! I did as much as could by picking out the damaged material (think I had the worst sun damaged binnacle ever!!!!) and filling the cracks with body filler and sanding it down (saved me a few pounds too!!)
I did not opt for a leather dash but the material used had a very thin foam backing and with a firm hand went back in no probs. I had a pain with the air vents though by the windscreen. From my experience I found it easier to screw them loosely in before putting the dash back in.
Hope this helps, you shouldn't have any trouble.
BTW I also need a glove box insert, so if anyone else has another one kicking about please let me know.
All the Best
Peter

Hi all,
Just spend Monday morning removing the dash board, binicle, A pillar
covers, knee pads, center console and head linings as I am going to
have them re-trimmed, the california sun was not kind to my car :-)
Anyway Looking at the way the dash board fits, has anyone had any
experience of recovering one?
I am taking it to an upholsterer I have used before and would like
to go full leather on everything I have re-done but I am not sure if
the dash will go back in with the added thinkness of the covering.
Also does anyone have a glove box insert for sale as mine is
completly knackered.
Thanks
James RG
