Hi,
I've seen that thread on The Samba. How are these going, as I would like one for my 1970 Fastback?

Unfortunately it's been very slow going. The moulds are all done and I have made just one so far which had some processing issues that are almost
expected to a degree but I have not got around to having a second shot yet.
The look of the surface on the first is as original though.

Okay, I'm in no hurry, but I don't want to miss out if these become available and are as good as they look like they will be.

Have posted details here http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=95768&page=1#pid891449
But should you need more details or if you want me to post photos on this thread, please let me know.

Here are some photos...
Here is an example of the packaging....
Here is a photo of one of these Dash covers fitted, not by me but by a guy in Australia.
[quote="vwfanatic67"]Got my dash installed in the notch. Looks amazing and is way sturdier than I thought. I first thought I would install it over
the existing one for strength but when I came down to it I realized it would be much easier to use it by itself. I used the old one as a template for
the bottom holes and drilled the top ones one at a time and had to trim to small areas on the top. Guages fit nicely. I did however feel it was
nessecary to remove the two metal spacers out of a really bad dash I had to put behind the grab handle. All in all really simple installation and
looks awesome. I got to do the one in my square next as I bought one early and one late one. Here are some pics of it installed.

Hope this helps.
