This came up awhile ago:

What surprises me is that there was somebody amongst the swat team that could count to 120!

Re: Workshop for electrical generators?

You could try the last shop in the row of shop houses(south end), in front of Index Mall on Petchkasem Rd. There is a bloke there that rewinds motors, and also a bloke that works on cars and engines.

Re: Dashboard Glare

My old use occasionally Isuzu pickup also has a dashboard mat. Motor trimmers / upholstery shop should be able to knock one up for you if not an aftermarket item.
