The four corners of the panel are nearly broken off--just barely holding together. All functions work, except for the clock, which appears to be a simple fix. Any links on where I can get the panel? '92 Barth Breakaway

Virg,

I'm going to take a stab at what you are talking about, is it the dashboard gauge panel?

If so, there is no chance anyone still makes a replacement, but it probably can be hand crafted out of common materials like lexan, plexiglass, or even wood.

Could you include a picture of what it is you are referring to?

Thanks for reply. The panel is above the front entry door. It provides read-outs on the tanks, batteries, and has switches for water pump, hot water heater, and various outside lights. What I'm looking for is the panel cover itself.

Virg,

I can't recall what the panel is made of, but I think it is still an unlikely item to find in surplus. Generally these custom items must be cleverly re manufactured when needing replacement. Again, a picture would help me give you some ideas for an adequate material.

The panel is likely styrene. Any good model solvent cement will work to fix the breaks. Testor's is the best choice because of its longer working time.

I make my own out of 50% acetone, 50% MEK.
