Hi I am in the process of stripping my LH Torana for Restoration but I have found that the Dash Fascia is broken around the top screws for the cluster. Can anyone tell me if all woodgrain fascias are the same or if they are different or whether they can be fix. And what people have done that works. The screw holes have broken so that the screws wont hold and it is cracked from the lense to the facia.

Hi Simon
There is a dark and a light woodgrain - not sure which you have
LH and LX have the same mounting points
If the facia is cracked and the screw holes are broken it may be worth just buying a new one as you would be paying a good dollar to get it done
The woodgrain facias are relativly cheap

Hope this helps

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE INTERESTED MY DASH PANEL HAS RETURNED AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT LOOKS GREAT THE SCREW HOLES IN THE UPPER PART OF THE CLUSTER, BOTH OUTER GUAGE PLACES.ARE USABLE AGAIN AND IT WILL STAY IN PLACE.
