WANTED WTB Zebrano ac panel wood with NINE cutouts
- Thread starter nehuge

You'll need to send yours in to Madera and have them cut the extra holes, then refinish it. This also keeps all the wood grain matching.
Locating an original with 9 holes will be somewhere between difficult and impossible (and, it may need refinishing anyway). Then, the wood grain won't match the rest of the car either.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the 9-hole woods (both Zebrano and Burled Walnut) have been NLA new for something like 10 years. I bought an 8-hole Zebrano in 2003, and a 9-hole walnut in 2009, prior to NLA. I think these all went extinct circa 2013-2014.

Just to let you guys know Madera has raised their prices. About a month ago I had the center console and one door strip refinished to the tune of $430 plus shipping!
I will say they do an excellent job.
