Does anyone know if the upper face of a 4200 will fit a 3200 ? They look the same and I am wondering if Maserati, being the company they are, tried to keep a lot of parts the same to cut down on costs.
Suprano Stu sourced and had fitted a new 3200 one for me a while back.I think it was but if it's black, looks like leather and feels like leather that will be fine by me. My dash top leather has dried to a crisp and needs replacing, I bought a leather kit to re cover it but doubt it will turn out very good. I can get a 4200 one in the right colour and it looks very, very similar.
The one I bought was a 4200 one and it had stitching around the binnacle although it was white stitching whereas the old one had black stitching.I haven’t bought from them, but what needs repairing? I had mine re glued and stretched by a local trimmer, pictures on an old project thread somewhere. Cost me about £130 I think after taking the dash to to them.
It might be worth getting a re-trim price from a local trimmer? That way they will be fully responsible for the leather and fitting….
P.S When looking at it I think the 3200 has stitching around the instrument binnacle whereas I don’t think the 4200/GS has, it’s just one piece.
My original and the replacement both had light blue stitching. No rhyme or reason lol.The one I bought was a 4200 one and it had stitching around the binnacle although it was white stitching whereas the old one had black stitching.
Sorry Jluis, only just seen this. I contacted j-f customs a few years ago asking them if they did a leather gearstick gaiter for a 4200, they didn't. They said if I sent them my old one then they would make me one FOC as I would be providing them with a template for future sales. The quality was great and they even matched the turquoise stitching with a thicker/better quality thread. I was very pleased with my experience with them!Thread bump.
There’s a company on eBay (j-f-customs) selling new leather covers custom made for the 3200 dash top.
I’m looking at repairing mine this winter. Has anyone bought from them that can comment on the quality?
