    where to source 73 lightweight felt material for dash instrument section

    Looking for the felt material that is close to what was used for the 73 rs lightweight for the dash fascia section. I don't have a real rs lightweight but trying to make car look close to one. In any event, the RS book says that one of the many differences in the interior between a lightweight and a touring is that lightweight uses felt material instead of instrumental panel covers (I'm assuming no smooth vinyl and aluminum fascia based on the picture).

    Question: does anyone know where to source this thin lightweight felt that was used on the dash?

    This may be of some help, it's Mr. Reilly's early 1969 GT. It has the lightweight felt material not only on the dash fascia, but the headliner, and rear seat areas as well. This was a factory Marathon de Route car.
