You need a source for the polished trim and a source for the leather.

Something I looked into with my build.

What year is your car? I made these dash sets that I’m selling. I only have them in brushed aluminum and black anodized brushed aluminum. But they should be easy to have basketweave upholstery installed on them.

Unfortunately right now I only have them made for models up to 85 with the smaller AC vents. I plan making a set for 86+ once I find an 86 to take dimensions off of.

What about 74?

Thanks

I have an 87.

What dimensions would you need?

Hi David, they will fit 74 models. I apologize, didn’t mean to hijack the thread!

I would need to measure around the larger ac vents/controls as well as the slightly different glovebox.

check out this page where I made a customized version of the dash for my 1985 starting at post 45. I get into detail about adding the decorative material to the metal in about post 52.

so this is how a backdate project starts...

I bought the aluminum trim off ebay and asked for it uncut as I wanted to remove most everything from my dash. Google "ebay porsche dash aluminum trim". Several sources can supply it already cut for the dash. I bought the dash vinyl as part of my interior purchase from a European supplier. I think you can also find that several places...unless you want the Singer leather.

try this Dash Backdate — Stuttgart Classica. I'm going to order for my '85, haven't done yet, so unable to comment on quality or ease of installation.

seems expensive for just the aluminum. I paid around $150 for mine local to me in LA area. He was able to sell me the raw stock as I wanted one long seamless piece to the right of the steering wheel. Anyway, he could provide them in different configurations back then. Here he is on ebay:

Wow. Impressive. Here is the answer, OP.

I've done a complete Singer copy interior twice. Singer user German SpineyBeck leather weave. Very expensive

I ordered one of these from them for my ‘86. I didn’t fit well, at all. Scrapped it and left it stock. I will say that I’ve ordered a number of items from them and the quality is awesome. For some reason, the dash parts fitment was a problem. I also have their side view mirrors that attach off the fixed vent windows. VERY COOL - but the fitment on these too was a MAJOR pita. They’re dialed in now and look killer.

Not wanting to start a new, very boring thread, I'll ask a related question here:

Does anybody have the exact height dimensions of extrusion/Singer style dash trim?

I'm playing with an idea to modify the awful 996 dash and back date it a la Singer. Very early days but one critical element I need is this dimensions. Both the outer height and inner height (between the top and bottom rails, where the leather trim goes).

TIA

aaguiar27 Did you ever make dash trim for 86 and up?

FSK in Germany sells a very nice Singer style dash face that fits the 1986 and later 911(through 1994 964) cars. It is a heavy milled piece of aluminum. I bought one for my SC back date and it fits the 964 AC controller properly. I modified mine to accommodate the old style dash glove box on a 964 dash.
