Hi!

I've replaced at least 3 dashes, most recently last summer putting an 89 dash into our 83 240 V8. Seems like they all crack sooner or later--but keeping the sun off of them definitely seems to help here in VA.

I've gotten 2 of the replacements from "Strandbergs" used parts up in Wisconsin. The first one was about $75 (and in perfect shape). Purchased in 92, it went until 2003 with no cracks. I bought another up there last year for about the same price.

I think ytour 92's dash is different from the 80's models to allow for the knee pad under the driver's side. Not sure what years will fit your car (90 to 93?)--you may want to check with your local parts department to make sure you get the right one.

As far as how long it takes to replace it, it's usually a full day's work for me--but then I'm also doing other stuff "while I'm in there" (new blower motor, installing electric mirrors, or other projects). Best advice is get a good manual (Bentley) and check in here on the board if you run into problems.

Hope this helps,

Steve A-
