-----anyone else noticing the center speaker fitment on the plastic core dashes now being sold
I would tend to think who's plastic core dash you may be referring too?, there's been several sources of mfg's over the decades, with some of the early ones being truly horrible, Alan Foxx (originally known as Ultimate Rides/UR, but later known aka Carolina Dash,aka Superior Dash, aka Dash pros, etc, etc) has been the largest supplier to date of both recovered original steel core and plastic core pads, owning several E bodies, I've been thru the used originals, steel core recovered and plastic core repros always looking for a quality LONG LASTING product, they all have their quirks and issues, I currently do have 2 plastic core E body dashes that I procured thru Ebay via one of Alan Foxx's above named businesses, the oldest being approx 5+ years old IIRC, zero issues with fitment other than trimming out areas to fit components, zero issues with the warpage myth, in regards to the center speaker, zero issues (FYI,their are 2 different factory speaker centers 70, and 71-4)the only difference I have found is in the grain, not as pronounced as an original, but you'd be hard pressed to tell unless you have a side by side comparison
As I stated in the past on this subject, if you are to purchase a plastic or steel core dash from AF currently operating as Dash Pros, do if from Ebay thru PayPal, that way your not waiting, or hunting down your pad or money if you deal directly with Dash Pros
