Right, i've actually bothered to search around before posting this time, though, fully expect someone to point out the thread below me contains the answer again :/

Anyway, my plastic surround which mounts the speedo, etc. is rather cracked and looking rather tired - but - i can't seem to find one on the net (yet) and am not sure what the buzz word for this is to search for - any ideas?

Although having a 2a the dash bit is from a 3 i think (maybe a defender, but i think a 3) - and the metal housing behind it has also lost one of the all important bolt bits so the plastic front doesn't fasten on properly - i think i've found a replacement metal bit on eBay that i am watching though.

final question - the switches are all fastened on by a nut which has the two grooves which i assume a tool would fit - can you buy a toolor is it a case of making your own?

for the switch removal can you get pliers on them
or tap em round with a small screwdriver and pin hammer

Click to expand...

might be best if you post a picture, the 2a, 3 and defenders all have different dashs

Its definetly a 3 dash - having remembered what my old defender dash looked like from years ago and having the 2a dash in a box in my shed

I just hadn't expected it to be that expencive. Maybe i'll go with a sheet of metal instead

I have no problem unscrewing them with a pair of pliars, etc. but doing them up again tight enough was the harder bit, but, then, maybe when its not tightening against a cracked piece of plastic it may work better,

Thanks
