Would love to source a crack free dash for my 72, if anyone has anything feel free to PM or send me any info on one. Not sure I trust the overlay, not sure I want to spend on the 914 Rubber replacement. Thanks

The problem with the OEM dashes is that if they are in the sun they get hot, the substructure is a different material. As the expand and contract the vinyl that was formed over the substructure will eventually form cracks at stress points. Ever wonder what they all crack in the same places?
We do make our new ones differently. We use a self skinning high pressure molding tool to mold ours. All one material, so they will not crack. If you can get a used uncracked dash I'd snag it. I spent 3 years and a large chunk of cash ($2500) to get a NOS in the box dash to mold. Thanks Ken so texture is dead on. Even have a small "pimple" on the top of the dash that was molded off it (barely noticeable, but a true reproduction). The materials and went up in cost significantly since we started making these. As you know on the Group Buys I do I'm just paying for the tool, so those prices are not sustainable. It does make for a screaming deal for those that step up. In a side note the roll bar pads will be going on Group Buy soon too so keep an eye in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
