Temporary binnacle fix/covers?

[ccurzio]

Based on this poll people aren't expecting to see binnacles any time soon from DMCH.

Call me crazy but I think there are more than 25 users on this forum.

I personally believe Houston will start selling them soon. In time for DCS? Maybe, maybe not. But they're not making prototypes to "tease" people. They genuinely want to make the part available.

I just hope it's of equal quality as compared to the original part. Luckily my own stock binnacle is in perfect shape, but it'd be nice to know that a comparable replacement is available.

Its a shame the 1,597 other members never contribute anything to the forum. I've found that many people don't say what is on their mind for fear of being blacklisted. I know this because several people have said this to my face.

Why's it gotta be black?

If you don't want to wait and it bothers you, a fast and cheap solution is a dash pad cover.

Its not. The typical delorean owner is white, nerdy, and male. I don't know of any black delorean owners except for this guy and frankly, he isn't an owner anymore.

Good god that was hilarious... and sad that he would make that much of a fool of himself on TV. The MJ moves were the icing on the cake.

Just imagine how he would have acted if the car had a new DMCH binnacle in it.

If you really want a quick fix...

Cut off all excess vinyl around the cracked areas. Get a small amount of expanding foam around the cracked areas. Yes, the smallest can you can get will be way overkill for this. Sand down to be roughly smooth with the remaining intact vinyl. Dye liberally with SEM Medium Slate Gray or Acura Charcoal Gray.

If I had one more day available last week I would have done this myself. Unfortunately the time came and PAST which I had to have everything back together, so my nice freshly dyed dashboard is now sharply contrasted by my severely cracked and browned binnacle.
