Hi Guys,
I am faced with needing to fix up/replace the top dash pad. Will a dash cover (around $100-130) suffice? Or is it a better idea just to save that money and apply it towards the new pad ($550)? Thanks as always for the advice, Ross |

I have bought three caps and I have been pleased. The one with the grain, (I forget which manufacturer) is the one you want. I've seen some that look like coarse sandpaper and they aren't right.
americandashcaps was the seller. [Keep in mind that a cap is a short term solution to a cracked dash. I always highly recommend 914 Rubber products, and I will buy one of his dashes as soon as my /6 project is farther along.] |

I have a 1965 356SC and a 1991 996 in my stable so, it made sense to add a 914. Well, the wife bought into the idea so, I went for it. Have ordered a few bits and pieces from 914Rubber and they seem to know their stuff and have some great parts. I like Stoddard but, these guys seem to be giving them a run for their money on the 914 front. Good job Mark!
