DF-CLASSIC eBay vendor.

Post by Loz »

Evening all,
My search for a replacement dash pad has led me to eBay not surprisingly. I wonder if anyone has had dealings with the above named vendor, and if so would care to share their experiences etc.
Percentage feedback looks good, but further reading uncovers a few spicy reviews which put me off a tad.
Any help much appreciated and if you'd rather Pm than post please do.

Cheers,
Loz

Worth a sanity check in Pelican on this item as I’m sure that the dash pad from Lakewell has had some critical reviews. A shame as their seat covers seem to be great.

Thanks Ian,

My search so far landed on the very same thread. Not good reading especially at the price! That's far to risky for my nerves and dealing with them on a subsequent issue could turn into a nightmare.
Thanks again. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Mine was pretty bad, all cracked from the Californian sun. The guy restoring filled it all will expoxy or similar. Sanded it all down, then wrapped it in the same vinyl as the door cards. I was really happy with the result, so I imagine a good trimmer would be able to do similar?

From memory (over 10 years ago) it was in several pieces.

Mine came off in chunks. I will refresh the doom later today when I get to my workshop.
