Replacement Dash???
Can someone recommend a source for a replacement dash for an '81 SC? Mine is cracked and its the only defect on the entire car, so I want to get it fixed.
The interior is tan w/ dark brown trim (dash included) so I'm guessing a dark brown dash may be hard to find.
Any idea what this item may cost?
Thanks,
Matt

see
Pelican Dash Pads
Black only $439.75
Or Just Dashes
They refinish - supposed to be around $450 to start.
Do a search here or on the Pelican boards on dash pads. You will get many opinions & options.

Matt,
I would also suggest you try Sunset Porsche.
The last time that I did a dash project, Sunset's cost plus pricing was significantly lower than Pelican's.
I would guess that a brown or tan dash for an SC may be NLA, or at best a special order item as opposed to standard black. (and assuming you need basic vinyl, and not a leather covered dash.)
Good luck,
Tim

GT Racing sells a fiberglass dash top for $240. You could buy that and cover it with a matching leather/vinyl if you can't find the correct color combo you need. The only problem would be I don't think the dash from GT has center vents cut out.

Of course, now that I think about it, you could probably re-cover your existing dash if the crack isn't too bad...
