Hello Keith
Sorry to hear about your experience with the people. Thanks for all the reporting back to us.
Oldschool. If i remember correctly there is a sponge place across the road from the upholstery place. I think it is a Indian gentleman, if i remember correctly. I will be in that area on Wednesday.

Good Morning Guys. Latest on the dashboard repair. I was about to fill in the cracks with black silicon when I remembered that I had a can of 'Mighty Sealer' which I had brought back from my trip to USA. I used this stuff on a motorhome there to stop some leaks and it really is fantastic. It is a rubber based aerosol product that really works. I have used it here on the steel roof to stop leaks, on leaking gutters and on the wheel arches of CERATOTH. So what you say....USA product ! It's now available from Verimark and I've already bought a spare can to keep for later . The trick to using it on the dashboard is NOT TO SPRAY IT ON. I made that mistake and it took nearly a litre of petrol to get the stuff off the inside of the windscreen ! Rather spray it into container and then paint it on with a small paint brush. It is really is like water, soaks in and you need to build up several layers after each one has dried. It ends up filling the crack with a matt black finish which you can then polish up with a dashboard cleaning/restore product. I've used Herschell TD spray which I got from my local Mica. Will it last ? Only time will tell :-) Regards to all at LOCSA, have a great Christmas and a super 2013. Keith and CERATOTH.

I have recieved my dash. and im very happy with the end result...would advise anyone to do it..however its not an original dash and a good secondhand or replacement dash would always be better than piecing together what you have, so to the niva purist or enthusiast it may not be attractive.
Ill post pics tomoorow of complete new interior which recieved today from the upholsterer... ;D
