Wanted: Plastic dash insert from early car.
« on: October 17, 2013, 09:38:30 PM »
Hi guys,
    I'm still looking for a couple of little bits for my '74 car.

Most importantly I need to locate a plastic dash insert from an early car as below needs to be in good condition;

I've been looking but I think the only way you will get this part is to either have one made/fabricated or to find a 1970's car being broken in Italy (there will be a number).

mm.. ::) I'm looking for the same item.. Will be trying to make one myself later on, so if you're willing to be patient (enough.. 8))..... 
I'm thinking of making a silicone mold and make a casting of PU or polyester resin.

Thanks, but I have one in my car. I think someone has previously over tightened the screws so both holes are a bit knackered. I like to make a copy which I can then modify...

Yeah mine is knackered. Need one that is in good condition. I think this must be one of the hardest bits to find!
