Leather dash top covers Mk2 Escort

Hello all,
I'm looking at some leather dashtop covers for Mk2 Escort on our favourite auction site, not sure on how to post the link, I prefer driving trucks anyway, has anyone used these? The fitting part I can do, just wondering how the quality is before I hand over the cash.....
Cheers Drewdog............

    To put the link in here I copied the web address and pasted it in here.
     
    Haven't seen it before but I like the idea, might have to buy one and give it a crack

    Cheers Ryan,
    That's the one..... They come with colour coded stitching too ohhlala Its a cheaper and plusher option then re-flocking the original and shouldn't crack after a few good days in the sun. I don't mind spending an arvo in the shed trimming it up...... I need to do this soon as it's easiest to fit before all the heater, a/c and dash go in, bare with me I post the end result after the standard 7-10 days delivery.....
    Thanks again Drewdog.............

    Hey Drew,
    I've considered the same ones, but with the yellow stitching, did you end up getting these?
    If so, throw a photo up to show us all what the inside looks like.
    Cheers,

    Hey, ended up staying away from this option, if you look closely at the pic there is a dirty seam right through the middle of the passenger side that I wouldn't be able to live with, almost like its been made from off cuts..... not sure why they've done it that way.... My roof linings going in shortly so I'll talk to the trimmer about having one made or send it in to the dash doctor for re skinning....
    Cheers Drew
