can i dye the dashboard?

I've been after a black dashboard for sometime now and I've not been able to find one.

They do black leather covers on eBay but £80!!

Can I use leather dye to dye the dash?

Re: Universal swirl pot location

So technically a swirlpot could be mounted under the bonnet on the fuel line from the tank, Then from the pot to the pump then to the fuel rail. Sweet

Re: harder rear shockers

Ok fair enough i will look at springs. Cheers guys.

Allthough you ever lifted an empty 60 litre lpg tank? They weigh a lot without gas.

An empty lpg tank and my capri never bottoms out , Obviously the extra load of the lpg is just too much for the old springs now. Cheera

harder rear shockers

My capri 2.0 runs on Lpg, I have a torodial tank in place of the spare wheel, But when the tabk is full * 60 litres of LPg* the reat suspension drops a lot and going over bumps she bottoms out

Is there harder shockers available to kope with the extra weight?
