Thomas Gant Posted 2September, 2015 Report Share Posted 2September, 2015 I've just purchased a 1981 911SC and require a new dashboard.I know there are a few topics on the forums that touch on this but I have been unable to find anything concrete.I am looking for a new dashboard or advice as to whether they can be re-skinned in the original style. I had the same issue with my Targa a few years ago, but due to the small cracks was able to get the plastic re-welded. The new SC is a little beyond that, as it has spent quite a bit of time uncovered by the looks of things.Obviously these are a pretty scarce commodity these days and very few wreckers have any left near decent quality.Would love it if anyone could help me out with advice on where i might find these or any international suppliers. Willing to payAlso, looking to replace the windshield at the same time if anyone can recommend a decent supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott930 Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 if looking for new, have you tried one of the Porsche dealers or even James at Autohaus (I know they have (or can get) new dashboards for 1984->)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Gant Posted 3September, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Yeah, unfortunately being 1981 it is a little more difficult as they are no longer in production.Which Autohaus would James be at? There seems to be three different ones in Melbourne alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC 3.2 Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Try James at Autohaus in Sydney for a new price( probably expensive) a cheaper option,especially as you are near Melbourne is to have your original dash vacuum reskinned by the Dash Specialist in Coburg. Bit of a job to remove it--windscreen ,gauges out to access retainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 3September, 2015 Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 have you tried Porsche/Porsche Classic? Part details/numbers are here on Page 202 (in Acrobat, not catalouge listed pages)http://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf/originalparts/en/E_911_83_KATALOG.pdfI assume the remarks mean which side the cluster etc is on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Gant Posted 3September, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Cheers guys,James was a great help with most parts I need, unfortunately there is nil stock of the dash as a genuine spare left in Aus. Germany have stopped making them too by the sounds of things. Looks like a trip to the re-skinner in Coburg. Luckily I need to replace the windscreen so the dash job doesnt make me feel so badRuss, thanks very much for the parts breakdown. It was a great help.It seems like this is the type of forum that would have come in handy years ago. Silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
