my old dash is cracked right in half on my "Trekker build" (79-83 fourm )
I am going to fix it .. and here's my thought's ..
It will require an obvious removal of the pad .. then I'm going to duct tape up the crack .. use some expanding foam in a hole I make in the duct tape , and fill er' up . Then I can remove the original vinal , sculpt the expanding foam to match the original foam pad , and recover with my choice of LEATHER

..
sounds easy enough !!
