Perhaps my research skills are starting to fail but I could not find an answer.
Is there a source for the black textured vinyl or plastic cover that goes over the instrument panel in the Mk2? The regulars do not list it and I cannot find a part number in the parts catalog
The material was Rexine Leathercloth, a fabric impregnated with cellulose nitrate, camphor oil, pigment and alcohol, and then embossed to look somewhat like leather.
I bought my material from Martrim in the UK.
The Vinide Leather Cloth they sell seems very close to the Rexine that I remember from my youth. I installed it on my Mark 2 and it looks very nice.
I have a piece 23" X 24" left over which I will sell you for $10 + shipping. If you wish, send me a PM with your contact info.
Sorry about the picture resolution but its the best I have right now while the car’s in winter storage.
I want to belatedly thank everyone for their response to my question about recovering the instrument panel in the Mk2, especially Bruce for his offer. I went to my old storage unit and found a vinyl cover from another instrument panel that appears to be serviceable. At least it is better than the one I have.
