Has anyone had a closer look at these? The grain doesn't look anything like my original but it's hard to tell.

and your thoughts are?
Look how badly the grille fits I suspect they are from yuk yuk land known as Lakewell. The Merc guys said they get them from overseas. My last lakewell RHD dash did not fit properly around the guage area.Last edited by Terminator; 24-03-22, 08:37 PM.Clyde Boyer

Vintage kindly sent through some closeup pics.... Clyde, I thought that the Lakewell dash pads were fibreglass based?

It's not bad, and certainly much better than my very cracked original, but I was a bit put off by the (what appears to be) incorrect grain, the spaces around the speaker and the very rounded edges. For the moment I'm in the process of recovering my original. (Again...)
Daley's, here in Brissie, were kind enough to let me look through their extensive range of black vinyls and I have a very good match for my original.
This is a lovely original 75 which is probably how my 72 looked except for the integral speaker.
