the subject of the raised bezel areas on plastic dashes came up around post #16. I clarified what was done to the early dash to add the veneer. I made the statement because I believe I own more harringtons than anyone in this part of the world so I do have something for reference.

I had the opportunity this past weekend to take a close look at our pre-production SV's dash board.
It appears to be a standard SV GT dash being a thin wood veneer (+/-1/32") applied over a bakelite base.

rich,
the interesting thing about the dash I have is that if it is a veneer it looks to be so thin that it appears to be heat shrunk over the top of the dash. it covers the maybe 1/2 inch area that is on top that is never seen when the dash is installed. this is the area that goes up under the metal and the cardboard covers the area between the dash and crash pad. I don't see any areas where it is folded over the top. it's not that way at the bottom where the waist roll sets.

My Tag has the following:
CHASSIS
& ENGINE B 9400766 GT BW LRX
Colour
Code 39
WITH: SAL 375145
And it has the plywood (Elm ? eight (8) ply Dash that had the Carpathian elm verneer finish like pictured at the beginning of this POST.
If Iam missing a digit there are at least 111 other Sunbeams listed that have the same error by missing a digit. That is if I understand you correctly?
