Covering for an modified 1303 dashboard

[VEEMAN]

I have just grafted in an 914 dashboard gauge surround onto my original 1303 dashboard to house a set of 914 gauges.Since the dashboard is right hand drive, there are no current after market dashboards as a direct replacement.
So does any one know where I can get the whole dashboard recovered either in the U.K. or in Europe.I know it is possible in the States , but would prefer a place close to the U.K.
Alternatively is there an material on the market in which I can attempt this myself.
Any thoughts or information would be appreciated
Cheers

VEEMAN,

When you said 'recovered' depending on the finish you are looking for any compataint (sp) auto trimmers should be up to the job, particularly one who trims cars which have big professional ICE installs.

Thanks for that Justdubbin.I tried Bernard Newbury over here in the U.K ,but he was not interested at all in taking it on.I will have to look else where,not unless you can recommend some one up to the job?

Try your local car stereo shop, they will probably know of plenty of people that could do it. Much cheaper than Bernie too!

Thanks for the help Ricola.I know I would not have too many limbs left if Bernie was going to do the job.Will look your suggestion up.

I approached mr Newbury once about doing a 1303 dash in black leather.
He was NOT interested, I was prepared to pay good money for the work but he flatly declined, said that he didnt like doing 1303 dashboards!

Crazy.
