rulloyd Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi all Looking for a GT6 Mk2 dash top (the plastic bit under the windscreen I mean) that I can re-cover for my renovation please. Mine is 95% beyond recovery having wrecked it myself already (long story). I've tried Spitfire graveyard, spitzbitz, ebay (been looking for ages) but nothing. Perhaps some kind, sympathetic fellow Triumph enthusiast has one they would be prepared to part with to help me bring another GT6 back to life? 😉😉 Or any other ideas? The GT6 Mk2 dash is different from the Mk3 dash top (which can be bought new) which is chamfered on the windscreen side (as are Mk4 spitfires on). The Mk3 spitfire (which you may assume would fit) mounts completely differently also, so it has to be off a Mk2 GT6 or GT6+. Many thanks for any help.

rulloyd Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 In the end I was very lucky to find a Mk2 dashtop on ebay. It had been badly covered and when I took off teh cover I could see why. Somebody had screwed gadgets to the dash leaving holes and dents all over it. I carefully filled it using filler madefor plastic (yes, you should not use normal car body filler) and goyt it back in good shape. Then I covered it in leather. So pleased with the result, it looks REALLY good if I do say so myself. Anyone who wants any tips please contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 That looks like a top job, well done! Covering in leather or soft vinyl is a very satisfying job, when you see before and after. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulloyd Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thanks Nigel. Can't wait to get it back on the car (in fact refitting the windscreen frame depends on it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
