New dash for a '92???

Friend of mine has a '92 with the typical cracked dash. I see dash covers at LMC etc... but no actual complete replacement dash. Is there such a thing?

Nope. You just hunt for the best one you can find, repair if necessary, paint (use SEM, and follow the directions to the letter!) if necessary.

Best drop-in fit for compatibility is if you have an 88-91, stick to 88-91. If 92-94, stick to 92-94. You can swap across those two groups but the area behind the dash cluster connector is a different height and the hole is a different size/shape; 92-94 has a raised standoff area and IMO it matters totally since that cluster just pushes onto little circuit fingers instead of having a real pin/socket arrangement like 88-91. If I was in the situation of needing to use an 88-91 dash in a 92-94, I'd make a template and chop the whole behind-the-cluster area out of each dash exactly the same, and transfer it over so the cluster fits correctly. Have people just "made it fit" and not had problems? Sure, but...

Thanks Richard. I suspected as much. Just wanted to make for sure. The dash in question is not repairable. I think we'll try a dash cover from LMC.

I've heard that fiberglass can potentially repair cracks.
