Could anyone out there tell me about the dash facia used for a 67S? I know it's got a basketweave cover, but I'm wondering if it uses a separate piece over the radio as in a 69-and-later car, or was the basketweave a single piece from the steering column to the glovebox? I'm guessing that the 68L and S would use the same arrangement. Thanks for the help.
Hello
You're right , on 67S: basket wave, no separate piece for radio. So 4 pieces: left steering side, right steering side to glovebox, glovebox, right side
(I've just recover my dash: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-f...2/P1040004.JPG)
Well done. A thankless job.

Thanks for that info. Now, a bit more detail, please: Are those early dash pieces constructed the same way as the 69-and-later cars? That is, does the basketweave glue onto a thin, flat aluminum piece that nests in a heavier channel, or is there a single strip of aluminum that has the basketweave glued to it, with one or two bright trim strips on the edges? If the latter, do those strips go on both the top and bottom or just one edge?
No, 67 and 69 dash aren't the same. On 67 model you only have the upper aluminium trim.
Basketwave is glued on steel pieces border and the aluminium trim is pushed on the top (no glue). No lower trim on teh dash. It's an hard job !! You need a good glue.
My glovebox:
Isnt the bottom trim attached to the knee pad?
Excellent! Thanks for the assistance. (Eric, that ivory/red car is gorgeous!) Now, is there a way to obtain the correct basketweave without having to cut up an old door panel?
Another one. All original (except the wheel).

on 911S and 911L 67-68 there is a strip of metal welded across the front top of the knee pad that is not on other models. the vinyl wraps around it and the aluminum strip attaches to it. Aase sales may still have the aluminum strips for the top of the dash vinyl at a most affordable price but the long lower one can't be easy to find.

I was kinda hoping Erik would do his magic and make some repos of the lower trim as I managed to mess mine up 30 years ago while butchering the dash to install one of them new fangled radio/cassette players
