Sort of speaking of peaking order (but not really), I found last year an NOS AC Catalina dash woodgrain insert. I finally got up the courage to install it in my white Cat ragtop today. The old one wasn't bad but was sunfaded and the lettering was a bit thin. The scary part is that these inserts are press fit into a groove in the 57 year old fragile dash-pad, to remove the old one you have to yank it out and then cram the new one in hoping you don't crack or rip the old vinyl padding. Being a red dash-pad helped the odds since they seem to stay softer than the more brittle black, blue and green ones. Anyway all went well and it came out beautiful, while I was in there I installed a new center AC vent too.
