Repalcement plastic dash surround thingy

Right, i've actually bothered to search around before posting this time, though, fully expect someone to point out the thread below me contains the answer again :/

Anyway, my plastic surround which mounts the speedo, etc. is rather cracked and looking rather tired - but - i can't seem to find one on the net (yet) and am not sure what the buzz word for this is to search for - any ideas?

Although having a 2a the dash bit is from a 3 i think (maybe a defender, but i think a 3) - and the metal housing behind it has also lost one of the all important bolt bits so the plastic front doesn't fasten on properly - i think i've found a replacement metal bit on eBay that i am watching though.

final question - the switches are all fastened on by a nut which has the two grooves which i assume a tool would fit - can you buy a toolor is it a case of making your own?

for the switch removal can you get pliers on them
or tap em round with a small screwdriver and pin hammer

might be best if you post a picture, the 2a, 3 and defenders all have different dashs

Its definetly a 3 dash - having remembered what my old defender dash looked like from years ago and having the 2a dash in a box in my shed

I just hadn't expected it to be that expencive. Maybe i'll go with a sheet of metal instead

I have no problem unscrewing them with a pair of pliars, etc. but doing them up again tight enough was the harder bit, but, then, maybe when its not tightening against a cracked piece of plastic it may work better,

Thanks
