I picked up a nice dash pad recently that has zero cracks but is pretty dirty. I'd hate to clean it up just to see it crack before my eyes. Any suggestions on cleaning/preserving techniques before I do damage?
Thanks, Kev |

my now recently sold 73 Driver had a perfect uncracked dash and I owned it
15 years!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) A record for me and any car. I had a formed black loop carpet cover on it/over it. It looked decent and could be removed in a sec. when desired. I had one of those plastic cover jobbies but didnt like the fit and sold it. Back to my other Q: can a late dash pad be used in place of an early on those cars or is there interferance issues. |

As per my post above, I "think" there is a minor difference. If my recall is accurate, the early pad has a longer indent to receive the open glove box door. That should mean that the early pad would work with a late narrower glove box (one on a "vented" dash face). An early box door would not open as far with a late pad on top. I suspect you would never know the difference.
I have an early pad on my '70 and will measure the indent if you like. If you have a late one to measure we will have the answer (or maybe I'm just imagining all this!) |
