I'm getting ready to start restoring the interior dash, caps, seats etc. in
preparation to get my tub back on the TR3 restoration. My question is how
do you cut the covering to the dash so that it retains the overlap for the
glove box opening while still retaining enough material to cover the door?
I have the original dash covering so I have this as a pattern to see the
various "slits" to cut out to allow the fold back of the cover into the
gauge holes and the such. I am going back to the original factory installed
leather. What I cannot visualize is how you can leave the "extra" material
so that it folds back inside the glove box opening and still have enough of
the cut out material that will cover the door. Do you need to push in the
material at the door opening so to allow the extra material to be retained
when you cut out the opening?
Any other thoughts/BTDT hints will be greatly appreciated. I do have the
original metal clips that hold the covering, but plan to also use 3M
adhesive.
TIA
