Subject:      Instrument console

The talk of instrument consoles has me wondering if anyone has ever 
looked into producing just the plastic portion of the instrument 
cluster that the foil ribbon, the instrument lights and other parts and 
pieces attach to. My vehicle is a 90 and the remaining portion of this 
assembly is held together with glue, duct tape and good vanagon karma. 
I can only imagine what the older vehicle owners must go through with 
this. My experience has shown me that with correctly applied pressure 
and support the bulbs can be changed, odometer and other gauge 
components can be removed for maintenance or the entire assemble 
removed to access what is below. Has anyone looked into manufacturing 
just the plastic part that gets so brittle. Inquiring minds want to 
know. Thanks vanagonauts.
