needed dashboard replacement

[novacaine]

If you can source one, all the more reason to try repair/customise it. Elanlovers looks awesome

Dave Bean has TWO of them in stock right now. His part number is 100V0062. They are listed in his price guide at $1,500.00 each but he is somewhat willing to negotiate. He does NOT have a facia panel which he last listed at $800.00.

the part number shown here is INCORRECT......this is the whole dash mounting.....
the fascia should be B100V0066J - instrument switch mounting panel...
and NOT B100V0062F - fascia moulding assembly......

hopefully that should make it cheaper than $1500

Calm DOWN!

He originally asked for the DASHBOARD which is the entire cover, B100V0062F is the CORRECT number for the entire dashboard cover. The previous post stated Dave Bean didn't have a facia and since they have been obsolete for a long time and nobody I checked had stock, I didn't bother wasting everyone's time with a useless part number.

He does NOT have a facia panel which he last listed at $800.00.

This part of the post addressed the facia panel itself...

I think fascia panels are pretty hard to come by nowadays. The only way to fix this problem will be to either source a used one (which may also be in bad shape) or repair it - either by yourself or have a shop do it. If you don't want to do it yourself I'd suggest a custom stereo shop that does a lot of custom install work. They'll know how to work with dashes and fascias of all sorts and will have the right knowhow to put it all back together and make it look good.

For a price

Good advice. This sounds like it may escalate to an insurance claim?

I even called Dave at www.lotusm100parts.com and asked him if he had one held back and he didn't know of any available since they are commonly damaged during radio heists.

I will keep looking...

I agree.....I was just letting everyone know that now we had a photo of the broken bit that that part number was WRONG

A correction WASN'T required as I addressed BOTH parts and clearly identified what the part number was for as it was still available whle the facia was NOT available.

Find something else to pick on...

Why don't you sell it to him. I doubt is of much use in the UK...

I am mearly following your lead in posting the correct details for things that people wish to buy.....
as you have said we dont want people buying the wrong stuff.....especially at $1500 a pop
I am not picking.....just correcting the incorrect....

To the OP, what I did to fix my similar in type but much less bad damage was to press 2mm copper wire cut to about 12mm into the foam either side of the damage, then clamp shut with epoxy. Seems to have held for a year; I have not overpainted yet.
