Disco 1 Dash curling

[dbndisco]

Anyone swap out a curling dash in a disco 1? I have a near perfect dash in my parts truck and am trying to decide whether to swap them or just use the dash repair kit. I have curling everywhere. Along the windshield (front- whole way across), around the radio/hvac controls, etc. Any opinions? There don't seem to be any repair options for the other areas that I've seen... Looks like a swap would be a huge undertaking.

you do it yet???? havent done it but I'd love to know how it went? I've pulled nearly everything around it, but haven't pulled it yet. I can tell you the repair kit isn't a true "fix" put a kit in mine a few years back, now its starting to pull the screws up out and bending anyway in a couple spots and the curve at the front has cracked the plastic surround for the radio/clock/etc, as well as the instrument cluster. its persistent. I've been looking recently and think a d2 dash will actually fit a d1.... gotta get my hands on one and measure it though.

How did this come out (for both of you)?? Also have an issue in similar areas. Would love to know a fix/solution? Did the D2 dash work?

Thanks!

I beleive the DII dash is 1" or so wider, so I have my doubts that this will work.

Wait to a good ole hot summer day , sit it in the sun ,get it warm and screw it down, using some stainlees or black screws, or pait em. or buy a good heat gun warm it up then fasten it with what ever you want to use.

spent some time at the junkyard last week measuring one and the measurements look good - just too far down the list heat and screw have it close enough that its not splitting all the plastic in half anymore but one of these days its gonna get done..... eventually
