Hey guys. I'm looking for a 67 cutlass instrument panel (plastic dash minus dash pad). I don't need any of the electrical or gauges just the dash. Thanks

 

Do you want used, NOS, what price range?

 

Location?

 

Doesn't have to be NOS, just decent condition. Mine is cracked and some of the mounting tabs are busted off. Wouldn't really know what they go for used, but I'm sure an NOS panel would be out of my price range. Do you have either?

 

95965.

 

Hard to find them without some mounting tabs broke, I have 2 or three and have sold 3 or 4 others none of them had all the mounting tabs .they are 50 years old and brittle.prices have varied on mine from 100-400 also ron roth a member on here restores them and does a great job

 

If all you have is a few cracks and mounting tabs broken fix it. Ron does them and is awesome.
I fixed the one in our convertible and it needed a speaker section and had several cracks. It now looks great. it is not a Ron Roth but passes ok in our driver convertible. We will have a Ron Roth one in the 67 we are doing now.

 

Ya i think I'll try and repair it first. I just gone done replacing all of the fuse clips in the fuse box and repairing the wiring harness. I guess I was just thinking the easiest route was just to replace the insert. One more question though. On the back of the gauges is the blue circuit board to power the instrument lights. Well there is a chip out of it on the edge that goes into the one of the conductive strips. Is there a conductive paint that I can use to repair it? I'm trying to post a photo of it.

 

Its the left hand center bolt on top. You can see the chip completely disrupts the circuit? Any suggestions? I couldnt find a replacement on evil bay they only make repops of the rally gauge boards. Im not sure if its an issue as i had all kinds of electrical issues which is the reason i pulled the dash in the first place. You know how it is, try and fix one problem and five others pop up. Thanks

 

It looks like the ground strip to me as it goes from the bulb to the far left bolt. I am going to take all of the bolts out by the way and clean them real good to make sure I have a good ground for the board.

 

It is really pretty simple to do repairs on a board like that. You can carefully scrape away a small amount of the blue covering on the copper trace and solder a jumper wire over the missing spot. If you don't feel comfortable attempting that, I would be glad to do the repair for you. Feel free to send me a PM if interested.

 

I'm pretty comfortable soldering. I see exactly what you are saying. I'm just wondering if there is a conductive paint? Or if it's effective? I've seen some people have mentioned using a silver conductive paint. Have you ever tried it Randy?

 

I've never tried conductive paint, but Randy's suggestion is a 5 minute easy permanent fix. Why complicate it?

 

I have this one and I can send on the screws if needed, $60 shipped.
Nice unit but it does have a few loose pins.

 

There you go. I have had the pins soldered in place to make a better connection. Took to an electrical shop locally and it was quick and rather inexpensive. Works great now.

 

Thanks tru-blu I think I will repair it and see if everything functions. I'll keep you in mind if it doesn't work. Thanks

 

No, I've never tried it. The soldered jumper method is the only way I have ever repaired circuit boards.
