espada dash restoration

I have a 1971 series II espada. I am going to replace the piece of wood in the center upper dash where the light and wiper switches are. I"ve been looking at veneers. The factory said the wood was mahagony, but so far the closest grain match I found to my car is teak.I bought a sheet of veneer and will experiment with different flat finishes to get the color as close as I can to what was there. The veneer I could find is not self-stick; any suggestions for gluing and technique? It"s 10 mil thick. I"m also thinking of deleting the radio opening. The car is too loud anyway. This will also entail eventually re-covering the inner door panels, where speakers were mounted.Unfortunately, the metal edging that surrounds the wood dash piece was cut away at the top of the radio opening. Does anyone know of a source for that metal trim? It may be easier to find a period radio and live with the door speakers, but I want to examine the options.
