Looking to replace my speedo dial, mine's in decent shape but I want to replace it later and all I can find is the one's for Tbirds that are registered 150 mpg.

Does anybody know where I can pick one up?

The dash fascia can also be purchased from the following.

www.frpartsstore.com/index.htm

www.macsautoparts.com/

www.concoursparts.com/

Ford Road Parts Store and Macs have them for $34.95, Concours Parts $34.50.

All have the same part number B5A-17265-A

It really depends where you are as to which is the best. They are all good people to deal with.

I had mine apart and messed the paint up on the numbers and then I evidently put it back on too tight as I have developed a crack in the plastic on the right side.

I ordered one from Carpenter, I was on their site this weekend and I got a message the part number they listed was no longer a valid number but I called this morning and they have them and I got one coming, I would have rather not screwed mine up because I would like to have one that is as old as the car and be in good shape plus it irks me when I do stupid stuff like this.

Thanks

Don't feel bad.  Those old brittle plastic lenses usually show tiny cracks all by themselves after many years of the polymers baking out.  The new ones are identical to the originals including the green paint around the perimiter.  You are better off with a new lens.

Those are in great shape.
