Default WANTED - Instrument Cluster Backing Plate - 79 to 81
I need/want a white backing plate for a 1979 to 1981 instrument cluster. The connections points (3) must be in good condition so we can apply a new circuit foil.
Complete cluster considered any condition as long as the backing plate is usable.
Cluster from USA/CAN & ROW will work.

email me at Roger@928srus.com with details and price

Cluster part number will be ----
928 641 110 30
928 641 107 30
928 641 109 30

Backing plate part number will be
928 641 953 00

Mark's gotta have a good one, there are piles of good early clusters there. Did you call Tom? (forgive the obvious dumb question....)

Circuit foils for 79 to 81 are available and have been for a while - 78 is not available.

I just checked my stash..... Sorry no luck. I will check tomorrow in Atlanta for you though. It seems like I sold them a 79 parts car at some point. I will let you know.

Roger - I have same problem. 2 of the connector plastic tabs broke off. I am going to try and make 2 plastic pieces and then super glue them on. The last thing to do to get mine back on the road. Heart broken ......... 1981 plastic snaps pretty easily.

Roger,
Simon has access to a location that has a 3 D scanner and printer. Couldn't you scan and 3D print one?

I need one too if we can get a few folks together maybe we can make the scanning and 3-D printing option worth his while.

If it's pristine including the foil and the clips, I'd be interested in the whole thing. LMK

Pristine is a word I'd have a hard time using on a 37 year old part.
I'll get it out of the car tomorrow and take some pictures

Roger I have an nice '81 backing plate I bought at Hershey on the cheap. If you are interested I'll snap a pic. Was hoping to salvage the white tabs and somehow use the tabs off the '81 plate to fix my '78 but I think it may be too much work and not give me the results I'm looking for. (so I'm on the hunt for a '78 US or Euro cluster if anyone here has one).
