WTB Firebird instrument cluster glass

My instrument glass cracked while I was removing the bezel. Hope to find a real nice replacement piece.

Quite dusty, but in good shape. There is two small cracks, I took a close up pic. They're in an area that will be covered by the trim plastic

Re: WTB Firebird instrument cluster glass

What year car. Just noticed 85 down and 86 up have different odometer reset hole locations. I have at least one of each. Some swirl marks but no cracks

Re: WTB Firebird instrument cluster glass

Thanks fella's I found two locally. ( one from a '91 and one from a '92 for 10 a piece.) They were scratched so I used some mothers plastic polish with my battery gun and a cloth buffing wheel and they are 99% perfect.

Re: WTB Firebird instrument cluster glass

thanks. I've got a couple of source cars nearby, so I keep my "ears" open for any parts others might need. Driving around today on my job and found an '89 camaro 5 speed v8 in good shape. Left my number for the owner.
