MG TD TF 1500 - TF Dash Crash Pad

When covering the rubber dash pad, do you cut a straight strip of vinyl and conform it to the curves or do you cut the vinyl the shape of the wood? Do you need a heat gun or just warm? PJ

You need to cut the vinyl in the snake shape..oversize of course. Vinyl should be warm but heat gun not needed.

Thanks LaVerne, I ordered a new wood piece, as the old one basically fell apart. I have to soak the special bolts in a rust remover to clean them up and I'll be good to go. PJ

John,

Thanks for documenting so carefully. I'll be needing the exact information in the future and since I didn't disassemble the car I really don't have a clue about some parts that aren't simply mechanical.
