<x-charset iso-8859-1>I just installed a standard dash replacement in my '69 square and it looked like it would fit strange, but once it was properly installed it fit great, no problem, looks great. it was really cheap as well. Oh be sure to unhook your battery before attempting to remove the fuse box and instuments, because a short may fry your voltage regulator at $25 a pop. and the replacement dash I installed required ditching the standard VW plasitc retaining rings., fine by me. cheers -----Original Message----- From: Concentric (Jason M) [mailto:jason@concentricrotation.org] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 1:02 PM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: [T3] Dash pad restoration I suppose I have three options to fix the dash pad that's in my '70 square: 1. I can have the current dash restored (does anyone know who does this and approximate cost?). It's in pretty good shape except for a 3-4" tear on the right side of the speaker grill. 2. I can purchase a modern dash pad replacement (fairly inexpensive, but I've heard that they aren't super quality and fit strangely. Another issue for me is that the holes for the speaker grille are replaced by strips in the ones that I've seen. I like the original better) 3. I can purchase another dash in good shape. This appears to be both expensive and difficult. Any recommendations on choices that you've made for your type 3? Pros and cons?
