I have a 67 notch. The dash isn't bad now but I know the day will come when
I will need another. Thanks for the TS thread on the repops.

My dash pad came from ISP and I have been very pleased with it.  It's a
slotted one but that's what mine came with.  I heard some say the reason
make the slotted one is it don't crack as easy that's why vw went with that
design the last couple of years. Not sure about that or if that is the
reason they only offer the slotted one.
