How much are the dashboards from Mikey914? Sorry if I missed it. Also what is the grain name on the MIkey914 dashboard? Thanks.

I know that is the special stretchy vinyl, but is it available in other colors?

Are these complete dashes, or replacement covers to add over your present cracked pad ?

These are New vinyl stretched over the old dash after they have been filled. There is a thin layer of foam over the dash so it is slightly softer.
I may not continue doing these as the cost for doing so is about what I'm charging. My cost is $350 a dash and I charge $375. I have been taking a small margin to try to move these and with 2 on the shelf, I'm' not encouraged to have more made up. I am looking at bringing the Just dashes process in house, the investment is significant and there still s a bunch of labor, but if I can make it pencil out, I'll make it happen.

Ashtray delete yes,
The sagging part, not so much. If the structure sags it's difficult to make it straight again.

How hard is it to install these? Does the front glass need to come out? Any plans for seat reupholstery kits with the corduroy inserts like the factory came with on some 914s?

Removal and install is not hard. No windshield removal. Search for it as the instructions have been posted here several times, at least once by me about 10 years ago.

Easier than rebuilding a transition.
I can't remember one of the 9 nylon nuts that are easy to get to. It's good to have a nurse to do that part for you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have never built a "transition".

As for difficulty, I guess I am just more adept than you at the mechanical stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I agree with both the good Doc and Ruby ...... it isn't hard in the sense that you're simply unscrewing 9 nuts, but getting to those nuts is definitely a PITA. Some of the nuts (i.e., numbers 3 & 4 in the picture below) will seem impossible to reach, but patience, persistence, and the right tools should eventually enable you to prevail. I found that a knurled finger ratchet and a mini swivel head ratchet made the job a lot easier.

BTW, if your dash has never been touched since it left the factory, some of the nuts should be metal. In the picture below the metal nuts are #1, #6, & #9 but I can't recall if this is right, or if "3" is even the correct number of metal nuts. When you redo your dash, I recommend you make note of which ones are metal and replace accordingly.

I think only one CF dash was made, going on new msds GT v8 car. Probably would cost too much for the typical 914 owner.
