Is it possible to obtain new dashboard tops for UK spec Amazons? Mine has the usual splits, plus a hole from a non-standard rev counter, and I would like to replace it, if at all possible. Thanks everyone.

I don't know about new but you can try Brookhouse, Simon got me a very good unmarked secondhand one at a very reasonable price.

Standard dashtops, or just the 123GT version? Last time I asked him, it was just the GT ones that were available new in rhd.

Thank you all for your responses to my question. I think I will be speaking to Simon at Brookhouse later this morning and, yes, I will be seated, in preparation for the bill!! Having just rejoined the VOC after a gap of about 10 years, I must say that I am very impressed, and appreciative, of the level of help from other members.

I hope they will hurry up! I can't stand the tray in the middle, so there is no way I'm fitting a GT dash top to my car.

Having spoken to Simon, at Brookhouse, I am happy to have a 123GT dashboard top, and have purchased one. As per a previous comment, it was just as well that I was seated when I got the price! Simon is tremendous, with his wealth of knowledge and contacts. You could hardly ask for better. First class service.

So how bad was the price, if you don't mind me asking? I have a RHD GT and have been thinking about getting a new pad for the dash....

CVI's website lists prices for the versions that are available - Brookhouse's prices are usually in the same ballpark:
