possible options:

go to local reupholstery shops if such places exist there, unlike here,
dye your pad to that color
find a ggood used one from someone or somewhere of the color

good luck

Being you don't have your location on there, I'll asume you are in the south.
The glue on mirrors commonly fall off in the heat of the south, and after a couple glueings...some one probably got the '71 and older style and installed it.

The dash color you are looking for is Saddle. All the vendors sell it and most of us get it from the same place, Dashes Direct. If you are in the Charlotte area, visit us at the Auto Fair this weekend and we give you a good deal on one, or order from our site.

Light brown or tan is Saddle. There is also a Dark Saddle that is pretty dark brown. I have dark saddle in my 71.
