    1967 911S dash photo: Does this look original or re-covered?

    I am ( very slowly...)bringing my 67S back to original. Here is a photo of my dash. Does the dash pad look original or recovered?
    Thanks for your input.

    More pics would be nice but +1 for original.

    This is one of my biggest areas of woe. Every upholsterer I know can't get the perfs right and they have too much foam under the vinyl. And it's the same excuse: "You have to understand Frank; the original foam has broken down and the vinyl has shrunk causing the speaker holes to enlarge over 40 years. That's why an original dash is lumpy and our speaker holes are closer together."

    Then add less foam and make a punch die for a "corrected" speaker perf pattern.

    (BTW: I'm still working on a die myself. If anyone wants to take this project on let me know.)

    They're finally listening to you. I saw a dash with perfect speaker perforations at the Lit Meet. I think it was at Autobahn's table.
