After doing a search of "dash restoration" on this site seems to be a common thing with dash restorers, I have a similar experience with a EX-dash restorer who is a sponsor of this site who has since changed businesses and won't return my parts even after asking nicely for 14 months.
I figure if I mention his name I may get edited/censored.
The things you find out while doing your homework is disheartening, I have already had to buy another rallye cluster and dash bezel it's pretty bad when you have to spend this kind of money and gamble on even getting it back.
