John: Depending how big the runs are, if they are small start out with 1000 to 1200 grit wet, if you have a straight block I even use a wooden mixing stick "cut it down" 4" carefully like you are planning a piece of wood. Another option take a new razor blade between your fingers slight angle like you are standing the blade up on the edge light pressure drag the edge over the run like this the back slash as your blade ( \ ) moving to the left. If the runs are large carefully start with 600 to 800 wet than finish off with 1500 to polish. Hope this helps

Is there any difference between a 260Z dash and a 280Z dash? My 1978 280Z has a crack in it and I found a crack free dash from guessing 1974 260Z. Will this work! Thanks

Thank's one last question. Where do you buy a MSA Dash cap. Is that the brand or a site. I googled it and I found information regarding msa but nothing related to dash caps Thanks

I just purchased a 1978 280Z had it shipped from CA to Wisconsin "Completly Rust free". I plan on restoring this over the winter, my question is the Dash. My dash has a small crack and I have read several links regarding replacement which can be very costly so I was looking at options of repairing or a dash cap. I have been looking at 1000's of sites and was wondering who has the best dash cap. It seems that even if you do repair a dash it will probably end up cracking again. I also noticed that you can get a full dash cap or just the upper cap. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

I had the same problem on my 1978. Check the Vaccum lines on the right shock tower. I had my whole dash apart to find it was a vaccum line split open, 10 minute fix
