I suspect these people sell exactly what you don't want, but they make nice dashes.

Not sure if I understand what you need, but this place has the patterns and expertise to make a perfect wooden S-1 dash and probably the wooden door for the fiberglass glovebox as well. If you get the fiberglass box from RD Enterprises then the wood parts are all you need. Randy does most of the top wood dashes in the US and did a wonderful job for my S-1.

Agree about Prestige Auto Wood. Great work. One thing - my glovebox is heavy solid cardboard about 2mm thick. Were some fiberglas? Also - I had trouble with mine clearing the right side heater hose and had to modify the glovebox to avoid crushing the aluminum/paper outlet from heater to top vent. Anyone else had the problem?

I have a S2 dash that was made for the car in a short period in 34 years that I did not own it. Might help you. let me know if you have interest.

I assume you are looking for the fiberglass Glovebox that mates to the 1/2 dash found in the S1's .

Two places to try - If in the Uk might be easiest to go to TTR, If in the US try Curtis Unlimited.

Hope you are not looking for the matching door.......

Good advice on sources for the fiberglass half of the S-1 dash. Regading the comment on finding the matching wooden door -- Randy Keller of Prestige Autowood (mentioned above) made a fantastic wooden door for me and hopefully still has the pattern. Give him a call. Next challenge would be finding the hinges.
