While I am having my Mk1a painted I am going to
refinish/reveneer my dash. I don't think mine is
original. It is plywood with some sort of non-walnut
veneer. It is routed out on the back side to allow
for the mounting of switches. The cubby hole was
covered over with a "plug" (glued the door in
place)which protrudes from the back about 1/4 inch. I
have found several color pictures of dashes on the web
but I don't know which ones are original. I have seen
several very nice burl walnut dashes at events, are
these original? How about the cubby hole cover, did
Tigers come with "glove compartment" doors (sorry,
this was discussed a few months back) And last but not
least, does the finish on dash match the finish on the
steering wheel?
Thanks,
Chris
