Type 3 dash removal, no not all just the black rubber on top
Hey guys any quick and easy tips on removing the black rubber dash from my 71 type 3.
I am getting it recovered to match my PIMP new seat, (pics of the seats will be up soon, and once again thanks sam for the awesome seats)

I was actually thinking about getting it covered with material, like upholstery stuff, instead of staying with the black rubber. I'll keep you
updated.

on the subject of type 3 dashs.
I'm thinking about removing mine altogether and filling all the holes and then making aluminium bezels to sit behind the guages.
Topping it of with a slim dash mat.

Does the metal dash have an actual nice top?
I don't think I've ever seen one without the vinyl |

Looks good with shaving and filling.
Looks cheap if you don't weld up the openings though.

Matts right...they look pretty ordinary unless they're shaved and filled.
they have some pretty ugly holes where the speaker hoes and some slots cut behind rhe grab handle that are contoured just to make it more fun.

Did anything come of this. I would like to see how things went as my dash has some pretty large cracks running through it

I took my dash top off a while back with intentions of getting it repaired. As a temporary solution I stuck a strip of fury fabric over the metal
dash... i kind of prefer it now to the original plastic!
