Here's the first attempt. I'll give the rivets a lick of black paint before installation.

There are some things I'd do differently, such as only pre-drilling key rivet holes and leaving the others 'till later to improve alignment.

Will you be adding the authentic touch of a few tears here and there when trying to fit it, I wonder!

I do wonder if these went in before the dash carcasses were fitted...

Possibly - it came out over 3 years ago so I've got to remember how it goes back in first!

I've got enough board to make another set, if any one is interested in it, and enough rivets to put it all together. Plus enough vinyl to cover at least half a dozen more 'shin bashers' :D
