Hello all,

I'm looking for a nice condition wood dash kit sold by the dealers back in the day.

This will be for my '73 914 so no dash ignition switch hole.

I lifted this picture as an example of what I would like to find.

Shoot me a picture if you have one available and let me know what $$'s you'd want for it.

Thx for reading
Tom

I have one out of my '72 if it fits the bill. It will be coming out as I am going to stock basketweave. I would suggest refinishing it, but it appears to be in good shape. Offer?

When I take my dash face off, I can whip up a quick AutoCad file so that World members and cheap SOBs like Aaron can make their own......kidding Aaron. Good to see you're back.....David Lee

David, could you burn a copy for me too ... on R-14 format? (how's that for cheap) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

OT:
I also have a .dwg that's on 2010, but since I'm retired, don't have access to a current version of AC to convert it to R-14 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'd gladly pay for the disc(s) and postage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bad news and good news. The bad news is that the dash in my car is a three piece unit that came out in four pieces. The installer used something like industrial liquid nails to make sure it didn't "fall off".

The good news is I will draw it up tomorrow in AutoCad (very basic drawing as I am not going to put in the chamfers except for the glove box door where it is necessary) and will make it available to the group. I've see a few of these put in with magnets and some with adheisive.

The drawing will show the actual thickness, but I suggest going as thin as possible so as not to interfere with the light switches. This one is a bit thick and if you have sausage fingers, you might have trouble with the light switches.

OK guys. I have a quicky CAD file available. Send an email to me with your prefrerred email address and I will send a copy. Keep in mind that this may need some fitting for your particular car. Maybe print it full sized first, cut it out and test fit before putting sawblade to that exotic zebrawood! I would also double check the holes for the glovebox handle before you drill, or better yet, use your metal glove box door as a template as the holes in my wood dash are wonky.

The drawing is based on the wood dash pulled off my 72. Keep in mind the steering column is different for earlier cars and real sixes. If I were to make up a wood dash, I would also make it only 1/2 the thickness shown in the drawing.
