My 1974 Beetle has a padded dash which has a couple of cracks around the air vents. Does anyone know if these can be repaired and if so can anyone recommend someone in Melbourne who can do it? Or if not does anyone know where I can buy a new one. I have seen that West Coast Metric sell repro ones but they are for the left hand drive bugs

plastic welders generally can fix most dash cracks but it depends how big they are

surely there would be a few plastic welders in melbourne area
i've repaired the cracks in my dash myself by cleaning the edges of the cracks up, filling with builders adheisive and then rubbing back then u can paint the dash with vynil paint the colour of ur choice and u would never know they were there.
