RE: Cracked dash board
My advise to you is to have a specialist of vinyl repair access the cracks! Don't expect miracles for repair, but you may be surprised what they can do....
Just out of curiosity, what color is your dash....dark blue?

RE: Cracked dash board
Blue dashes semto be more **** to cracking than any other color. I don't know why, but that is what I have seen. The vinyl repair guys I have spoken to shy away from dash repairs larger than 1/2 inch or so because they expect that the repair will not last and / or not be pretty. For my '77 450 SL, I bought a used dash ( not blue ) from a cooler region of the US and dyed / painted it blue. It is impossible to tell that it is not original. If you decide to go this route, find a vinyl repair guy who is good and can dye it to match the color and the gloss level. That should give you long term satisfactory results.

RE: Cracked dash board
There are overlay dash panels sold by Performance Parts, and Adsit, that are installed over the original cracked dash... I bought one recently, (about 100.00 US), but haven't completed the install yet.. I've done a test fit, and it looks great! It installes over the upper part of the dash from windshield to the belt in center of dash. It is only about 1/16 inch thick.
