Classic Supra Dash Plates

[Hercules_ZA]

Hi All

Does anyone know if and where I may be able to get replacements for the 5 pieces that hold all the dash gauges and switches on the classic Supras?

I am in the process of restoring a 1990 Conbrio and want to keep it all original.

Pic of my dash attached.

Thanks

If you find a complete one, I'd buy the speedos off you to help you recoup a little of the cost. I have one with a leak.

You can find a local trophy shop and they can make them for you. Thats what I did. They just had to order thicker black engraving plastic. https://forum.supraboats.com/showthread.php?17273-New-Dash-switch-panels&highlight=dash+panels

Awesome, thanks guys!!! @gnarlydude I'm in South Africa so might be a bit expensive to get them to you...

EBAY has a complete dash assembly including the dash plates for around $550

Back to the hunt for dash plates, does anyone have dimensions for the '89 plates along with a sketch by any chance?

Want to have them made up, so I can remove old and replace with new at the same time, not keen to have dash in pieces for a few weeks while the plates are fabricated

I came across some low-res pics on a Australian site, but looks like they are not keen to speak to me or provide me with high-res copies[emoji19]

I have found someone who can make me a set out of Aluminium, but want to be sure I have the dimensions spot on.

Thanks in advance

I had to bring mine in. Turn around time was about a week. I asked if I could make a template for them and they said sure. But if it isnt exact. And they dont fit. We cant give you your money back.

Here's the giggle... Can get a full set made for around US$200 in Aluminium... Australian Company's pricing around $300 in plastic... before shipping...

Gotta love Africa[emoji23]

Happy days!!!
