You can buy a leather kit from Top Gaiters on eBay for less than the hard covers cost.

Bought a standard hard cover, then spent some time getting it to fit to the swage line on the dash. Had it covered as part of a major interior refit. Very pleased with it. Would be interested in seeing the full cover actually fitted and in a car though.

thats where mine came from, dont seem to have any uncovered pics. Got a brown one, colour was ok ish black would probably be better. the bottom edge was a bit rough hence spending time getting it to fit the swage line before covering. Quite a good and inexpensive fix for the cracks in the dash, mine is just sitting on the dash I didnt feel it needed gluing down.

Found one :D this was during the trial fit, you can see where I am extending the bottom a bit but this is the brown one in its naked state.

Arhh, right. I know Richard. These will be GRP copies of the original RHD covers which used to sell for around £150.
