Considering putting a sapphire dash in my 3 door as mine dash has a few minor cracks, kind of a shame to put a non original one in but the cracks are annoying me, i know from experience they dont repair well and just crack again. However some of the saff dashes dont seem to fit very well where the a pillar trims meet the dash from what ive seen, is this just how they are or can the be jiggled to fit nicely? Is there a particular year of dash that is best to use?

 

My cousin fitted a 2000e dash in his 3dr it fitted nice

 

Ideally you need to find one from a 5 door sierra not the saff and use the matching windscreen pillar trims, perfect fit then, I think the saff one fits better if you use use the sierra trims, I think the rake is slightly different on the saff screen even though the screens are the same, hence why they dont seem to fit exactly

 

Makes sense that a normal sierra one would be better, will keep an eye out for one

I have a saph dash on a 3dr and all is good
There is a small miss match on the pillars but my cage runs down there
So it's not a problem for me

 

Yes i mean mine isnt perfect with the oe dash but ive seen some with like a 10 mil gap where the meet, and im not keen on that lol

 

You want a early taxi dash, that's what I have in mine.

The dash on the left is from a early taxi the one on the right from a latter one.

It fits fine in the car

Is that with the standard 3 door a pillar trims? That would be fine, anyone know where is best to find one?

 

Yes it is

Didn't the car SOS lot put a sapph dash in the one they did?
Ones I've seen look fine.
Doesn't the 3dr have a grille in the centre top of the dash though?

 

It should do but you find one for reasonable money lol

Im going to try to fit the grill out if mine into the sapp dash, as i reckon i can cut the hole smaller than needed then remove the material then cut the card stuff to then fold it over the edges.

 

How difficult is it to fit a dash? I've got one like on the right of steves post and fits terrible
