    LWB Dash replacement recommendations

    I need to replace the dash on the '73 911S.

    My local Porsche dealers parts person says the latest Porsche Classic Parts unit have been well received. I have not seen one to validate.


    I have been reading reviews of the latest dash pads including the Porsche Classic ones. Stoddard and Aase all seem to be selling these? Any experience/recommendations on excellent replacements?

    Thank you in advance.

    Oh good to hear. May I ask if there is anything about them that you wish were better? Or they as good as they are saying?

    I am not an expert as much as others...but mine look great. Just be careful how tight you make the nuts .....the plastic tabs real easily

    I also have an early car in need of a dash. I am considering Lakewell out of the UK. Good exchange rate. I don’t have a read on their quality though.
    Curious to know if anyone here has experience they could share?
