Blanking plate

Post by rsfruitbat »

Hi
I am after a dashboard blanking plate for a 1980 S2 Sud Super. The ones that fill in where the ancillary clocks would go on a higher spec model

I used an early small AR badge with chrome surround.......fitted nicely!

Hi Dave
Looking at the AlfaSud book it shows that the Super had a cover that replaced the clocks completely not just filled in where they were. I don't really want to fit three Alfa badges.

Hi Ade the S2 cars had an ashtray in the dash where the three gauges were in Ti models. I may have the ashtray but not the bit that houses it

Hi Dave. Good spot. Sadly That’s a S1 cluster and I think Ade is trying to put the car back to as standard as possible.
It’s S2 4door. So didn’t have the gauges.

I thought the S1 and S2 dashboards were the same, so the 3 gauges could be swapped over........but maybe not?

The S1 three instrument cluster has 4 holes for fixings.

My S2 cluster doesn't have any fixing holes! Its jammed in with a bit of cardboard.

How were these fixed originally? Maybe I need to drill 4 holes?
