     My 78 Spitfire dashpad was covered by the DPO with one of those vinyl 
     dash overlays that glue over the original dash.  Now that too is 
     cracked from the sun, leaving an equally unsightly dash.  Has anyone a 
     suggestion for the best way to go, now that I want to make the thing 
     look "good as new" again ?

        I tried unsuccessfully to find a new (or reproduction) dash pad for 
     my '70 Spit.  I was unable to find any source and wound up putting an 
     overlay on my old one.  Mine is installed with large amounts of RTV so 
     you should be able to carefully cut your old one off and install 
     another overlay.  Hope that helps.  If I had a choice, I would have 
     gone for a new dash instead of an overlay.
