68 valiant signet
looks like my last post/s got lost like a lot on here recently.
so, 9/2/2021
the velcro arrived today. so i first cleaned inside the new cap/skin and the old cracked dash with brake cleaner, then stuck the 2" velcro along the top and bottom edges and the 3/4" along the leading edge. that last bit was a mistake as the extra thickness hasn't allowed it to go on as far so there's a 3/16" edge of the old dash showing on the front when you look through the screen. it looks fine inside but i will take it off and remove that narrow strip as i'm confident it'll go on just enough to fully cover the old part as it did when first offered up. the good thing is i 'can' take it back off as it's held with velcro
all in all i'm very happy with it as it (for now) finishes the interior to a respectable standard for a driver.
neil.
