Just added a stick on walnut dash from the 'Walnut Dash Company' via Ebay. I had fitted one to my previous MGB GT so I know they can look pretty good.
This one looks good too? Took about 2 hours in total to fit including precleaning the dash with white spirit.
Only issues I had were: -
1. To get the panel over the choke cable handle was a very tight fit. Had to force it over but caused a slight amount of damage to the panel. Not that you would notice now fitted. Would have been better to remove the inner cable. But doing that has its own issues!
2. The small rectangular seat belt warning light cover would not come fully off no matter how hard I tried. Moved it out just enough to clear the two pegs. The hand brake warning cover did come off after a bit of a struggle. Solution was to cut the panels large pre-cut hole into a slot at the bottom for the seat belt warning light body and slide the panel carefully behind it.
Other than that it was fairly straight forward but you only get one chance to get each panel lined up before pressing in place!
Here are a few pics of the finished dash.
The yellow on the glovebox lid is a reflection of a steering lock in the passenger footwell!
Have to remove gear lever gaiter before fitting
