[TR] TR3 Dash Covering Kit

[Ibsen Dow]

Hi Bill,
I just had the same problem as you did from my TRF kit. I ended up sending the
kit back because of the lack of material I needed to do a excellent job. If
you have the old pieces that are still intact, you can use it as a pattern for
the new material.
I ended up ordering the vinyl by the yard that matches exactly the same grain
and material. It gave me extra material that I could use on some worn windlace
pieces that were done in vinyl.

  I got my vinyl dash kit from TRF last week and got around this week to
  putting it on.

  First of all, the width of the vinyl was less than 8.5" in some place
around
  the glove box area and this made for a VERY tight fit pulling over
1/8"-1/4"
  to wrap around as recommended.  But my real problem came several hours
after
  I finished when I notice that the vinyl was splitting in the corners of the
  gauge cluster opening.  Two of the splits should be covered by the
faceplate
  but one will not, I will probably try to section a small sliver of scrap
  material into the split to hide as best as I can.

  Before I try this again, are there any suggestion that the list can provide
  for a smoother application?
