I have found an upholsterer in WA that fixes cracked dashpads by filling holes and then vacuum molding new vinyl. Price for Mk2 is $330. I haven't seen any of their work. Located in Kelmscott.
Am I allowed to use their business name Nev ?
Can anyone comment on workmanship ?

Yes that's fine. Would be interested to hear about the quality of their work.

$330 seems a bit expensive, they are cheaper to get done in the UK
It is not that hard to do a reasonable job yourself, if you can get the right grain vinyl, just fill the cracks, then glue the new vnyl on stretching and using a small roller to make sure it sticks down properly, probably worth a go if you have a spare, doesn't cost much.

Mark,
What sort of price do you pay in the UK?
Maybe we could do a bulk deal and buy a container full

Nev,
the best one in the UK was Aldridge Trimming, they charge about 45 pounds and it is to retrim your exisitng dash, they do an excellent job, I have a replacement for my MK1 here that I got before I left the UK.
www.aldridge.co.uk
I am sure they would do a deal to trim a box full but as always the shipping is the problem, especially as it is both ways.
I may be able to get some excellent original used MK2 dash tops sent over though if people want em? I know people who always have a few

I had mine done by Restor-A-Dash in Sydney with good results. Price 10 years ago was $150... probably about $200 now.
Details as follows:
Restor-A-Dash
Unit 11/ 39 - 41 Marigold St Revesby 2212 (02) 9773 4163
They may be able to send to WA?
