If you decide to just get a new pad watch for the knock off. The metal one's are not cheap. Found some for sale that where less money and was told it was metal core. Wrong it is a foam type fiber glass core. So you can not tighten the bolt nuts to tight or you will pull the fastening bolt's out putting it on the dash. Oh well after buying it will put it in for now. Good luck on getting yours redone. Russ. :popcorn2:

I'm going to have the original one restored. I like to have original parts. I'm waiting for my speedometer cluster to be restored.

We have been using the dash pads as provided from ABC Moparts. The pads are built around the original metal cores and are the correct size. Graining is very close to the originals and they are the correct size. Some of the reproductions are not even the correct size and as others have mentioned, they are built around a fiberglass frame. These units are more expensive than a cap and less than the "Just Dashes" recovering.

Where is instrument specialties at Anthony. I call the Mr. Tach and he said that they weren't doing roadrunner speedos any more. Some guy in New York said he did them but the price was out their. So stuck looking for some one to go through Odometer.
