Hi guys
Do you know where I can get see through plastic sheeting to replace faded and cracked lenses in my instrument cluster for the indicators, brights and oil light.

Re: Instrument Panel Lamp Cover/plastic film
I had the same issue before, also went to Maizeys, but, they could'nt help, it is such tiny pieces of product that you need.
I ended up going to Pick n Pay and buying three plastic A4 folders, green, red and blue (transparent variety) and cutting a small piece off each.
It worked perfectly.
(also tried sweet wrappers, but too thin)

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Re: Instrument Panel Lamp Cover/plastic film
Ya, Maizeys only have thick plastic.
I am going to try an art shop as those plastic folders are too light and don't have those nice dark green and red colours

Re: Instrument Panel Lamp Cover/plastic film
There are plenty of different varieties, but, yes the common folders these days are of a lighter shade and have an opaque hue. The older ones have more deeper and richer colours - check around the house or raid the kids roomsNo More Landy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:42 pm Ya, Maizeys only have thick plastic.

I'm sure I still have some which I can cut sections off and post to you if you don't come right
