Dashboard foam

[snapper]

It's an old Robin Hood
The dash was yoga mat, drian pipe for the radius and vynll over used tins of evostick
The reason I come on this site apart from the good info is that I want to replace the rear Sierra setup with a Haynes version
The mechanics and electrics are pretty generic for all kit cars and trim is a personal preference, my kit lends itself to the more retro look so windscreen carpets etc

My dashboard flew through the IVA with no foam. You don't need foam if its radiused. I have 12mm MDF, ran a router around the edges to give the 6mm radius, then stuck some pipe on the bottom edge (40mm diameter) to give my 19mm radius. Personally I think foaming is tricky to give a good finish. Looks bubbly and uneven.

I could do with recovering my dash as it has a couple of battle scars where the dash mounted tax disk holder used to be on the passenger side. Its also an opportunity to change from black to red.

Theres a variety of leatherette available on Ebay, what have people found is the best stuff for dashboards, canvas backed or cotton backed, normal or extra thick ?
