I followed the discussions on this board about repro dash caps for E-Body cars.

Since mine was badly cracked and very brittle, I HAD to get a new one - and I decided to order one from YearOne (since they ship to overseas for reasonable conditions - I would not ship my core to USA first).

So I'll give you a number of pics that you can get e better impression about the quality of that repro an how this one fits on my dashboard.

First the two caps side-by-side - you can see the plastic core of the cap. Wherever the original steel core had holes for screws, the new one has not. Screws will go into the plastic directly.

You can also see some grey foam left over on the black urethan core. Removing a lot of that grey stuff makes the cap fitting better!

After all these years having a 440 I realized that this means having an attitude... and a budget.
