I’ve searched but can’t find anything; does anyone have a write-up on how to replace the vinyl and restore the center console/dash that holds 3 gauges.

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
The hard part is it's a fitted cover, the factory does this with molded vinyl and a faux stitching along the edges.
A higher end car would have done this in leather with real stitching along the outside edge. Unfortunately vinyl doesn't stitch well, even heavy cloth backing doesn't sew well on the top of the edge, as it pulls the holes too big and looks like crap. You can stitch from the inside, but the seam isn't correct and can bunch up in hard spots. |
