Re: Wood dash kit (Fleetwood)
There's a number of parts suppliers with on line catalogs and ordering. I've dealt quite a bit with Ecklers ordering various parts on line and have always been very satisfied with their product and service. They also have a pretty good catalog they will send you free of charge. Happy Shopping. :thumbs:

Re: Wood dash kit (Fleetwood)
Hi Neil,
I replaced the wood dash inserts on my 1980 a few years back by a company located in Seattle (? emporium). The price was very reasonable, the real wood veneer (Rosewood) pieces were a semi close fit (very slightly off center) and fairly inexpensive ( around $130). The only downside was that they used a very heavy polyurethane finish that made the pieces look like they were plastic. If you do a search for wood dash kits, you should find a company in Seattle, Washington named something (maybe dash) Emporium. One note, when you install them make sure of the position they are going in because the adhesive is unforgiving and once it initially touches the surface that is it. No second chance to reposition it.
Good Luck,
Ken

I haven't done business with them but they have some interesting concepts, including aluminum.

"including aluminum"
I'm thinking I would like the aluminum if I can get over the price. Anyone have an aluminum dash kit installed? :cool:
