Question Cracked 1974 260Z RHD dash

I'm currently restoring a 1974 RHD 260Z, the dash has a large visible crack on it (just near the gauge housing). I've been told that my only option is to 'reskin' the dash or by some miracle able to find an immaculate dash. However does anyone know where i can get a full dash cover for my right-hand drive 260Z. Anyone has infor on who makes them or if they do exist?

Not sure about a full dash cover but dash restoration in Austrailia would reskin it for about 500-600 USD. They have worldwide agents that you ship to and then on to them.

Last time I called Just Dashes (about two years ago) they wanted $800 + S&H both ways!

I still say you contact Dash Restore, they have a website and a US location now (I believe it's in WA).
