Dash replacement options
 

Has anyone had experience with installing a salvage yard dash? Is there any way to tell if it will last anytime at all before it too cracks?
Vinyl seems less likely to shrink and cause problem - correct?

I am trying to evaluate options for replacing a dash (black) on a 1980 911SC. From what I can determine on these boards I have these options (listed in estimated cost, decreasing)

New dash (est. $1300)
Recover dash ( Justdashes - quoted $900 plus waiting time for turn around)
Used dash from salvage yard (est. $500 DCAuto)
ebay sellers ($??)

Any other options?
Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks

or buy the ABS plastic dash cover. I had saw one installed and looks great. It fits nicely. I think that could cost around $100.

I removed the dash from my SC and dropped it off at a local auto upholstery shop. It has held up for almost 10 and still looks great. It cost a weekend of work to remove and $125.00 to recover.
There has probably been a price increase due to the passage of time, but it can’t be on the order of your list of options.
Investigate an estimate in your local area.

Can a recover interior person fix warpage?

My upholsterer repaired the rust on the frame and recovered it in black leather for ALOT less than a new dash.

I sell them restored to better then OEM spects with German Leather for $600
