Suede Pillers, Overhead panel, and Visors

[Tricked 323i]

Nailed it. Infinity Kappa CS693, IIRC. THE hot shit in about 1984. EMIT tweeter, burly 4" mid and a decent 6X9 woofer with a 3 way crossover. The early versions had a single crossover for 6 speakers...shitty to install, let me tell you.

Good god, I have not seen a set of those in years.

Cannot believe someone mentioned Kricket...green speakers FTW!

I thought it was old school Kappa, what other speakers were out with no grill and mylar exposed? HS days.........lol

Still no updates as the car is still in the shop. Hopefully i'll have that damn thing back soon enough. To be honest, just use some of the heavy duty glue that has been suggested in this thread and i'm sure you wont have any problems. When i'm installing my new interior, i'll be redoing the rear shelf in the same material i used for the pillars (since i have a good amount left) and will be using the more heavy duty glue suggested.

I have some glue called K-grip that I use that holds up really well. I think I'll give that a try.

like you said too much suede can be a bad thing...

found this in the interior faq on s14.net

(this is perfect, he looks down at the picture right before he pukes)

I see a small business oppurtunity... 50$ installs of a dash or overhead panel... Id do it, beats swapping out to an uncracked dash and looks WAY better then a dash cover

[kronus]

Eh, i don't see anything bad about that ^^

Makes me want to hug it :)

I just checked it I can get you hogrings and pliers if you need them. I have great automotive grade suede's if you feel yours will do the job. Feel free to document all you want, I think the thing that sets me apart from others kits is attention to detail.
Kevin

Thats true... i love the interior i got from you. Cant wait to start this installation this wed.

Dave

[Stephen]

Wow, that looks much better than expected...

Anyone try a dash yet? someones gotta have an old cracked one laying around

[Tricked 323i]

Thanks Kevin. I was planning on doing the landua's with the spray gun. Good call on the UV treatment... almost forgot about that. Also, i sent you a PM on e30tech with a question about hog rings.

Dave,
Make sure all your suede is UV treated or it will fade on you. As far as glue goes just use a good Landau top contact cement and it will outlast your car. It is the glue they use to put the vinyl tops onto metal roofs, and you know how how hot that can get. I would also suggest using it for your door inserts as well.
