    Default RA23 Column Surround suggestions - Oh Noes

    I was trying to find somewhere to mount my monster tach and decided to remove the steering plastic cover around the ignition setup to see how much clearance it had

    Anyways it seems to of exploded in my hands ..it looks like someone has glued it back together at some stage

    Is there anything similar I can use to replace it ?

    Sorry its a RA23

    Yes, you can use one from a 1971 Ford Capri. This is assuming you have a Ford Capri, but you didn't specify so I'm just guessing.

    Any KE Corolla from the late 70's early 80's, (KE30 through KE55) use the exact same cover. Bonus is, they are so plentifull, they are cheap as chips.
