I havent, but it looks nice. Dont know what to think since this person has zero feedback and they are cheaper than the other. Maybe I'm toooo cautious?

Yea, I agree on the feedback. If I get around to it I try calling the number listed.

I contacted them and they said these are made from scratch and they dont need the old ones. Who knows? I wouldnt mind getting one but I'm not ready to install my dash as of yet.

I wouldn't touch it, it has a patch on the right side! Looks like the one on the charger forum. Thanks Carman. 8)

I think I saw those at Carlisle....no frame at all. They were seriously drooping in the sun...can't imagine they'd hold up well on a car.

dash

Called the number on the e-bay listing. The guy told me that they are "New" repo'd dashes with NO frames but fiberglass pieces installed where needed. He also said there are studs inplace to where it mounts to the dash frame and that it uses the same nuts. I asked him about heat/sun issue and he also claims that he has one installed on his '71RR. The guy on the phone said "No heat warppage on the dash" and that it has been installed for a while.

Now, I'm no rocket scientist but I know what heat can do to fiberglass after heat is applied, either directly or indirectly. I think everyone here on the Nest knows it as well.

This is FYI. Make your own decision/opinion or simply call the number on the e-bay listing. :beer:

Same here. Saw them at Carlisle. POS. Wouldn't last a month here in the desert.
