Pretty sure Zach said he had one. Zach? Anyway, looking to have a better looking dash without spending huge bucks. American Dash Caps always advertises one on eBay for $77. Anybody use one? Are they noticeably different from a rebuilt one like Camp 914 sells? Ever see one that eliminates the ash tray ? Pretty sure I've seen that option on "real" dash replacements but nor sure if anybody offers it in a cap.

Yep, I have one. Come see it first hand, Ken. I am about to hit my Christmas Break (one of the many benefits of working for a university) and intent to spend a lot of quality time in my garage knocking out my winter project list. It does have the ashtray cut out, and I am not sure what I am going to do about that, given that I don't have an ash tray in my car. I am going to have to find something to put there.
Anyway. I got mine from Ebay a few years ago. Until you touch it, you can not tell that it is a cap. But, it does not pass the touch test. it is hard and plastic. I never glued it in, so one day it might rattle or squeak. but given the my entire car rattles and squeaks, I probably would not notice. maybe it is doing so now. Which would be impressive, given as how the car is at home and I am at work. But perhaps the dash cap has a mind of its own, and rattles and squeaks when it thinks no one is looking, much like a pre-teen discovering masturbation. Happy monday! Zach |
