Yes finding a nice cover for a 40 is hard I cannot remember if I saw someone repopped these. I will ask around for you. Have you talked to Jason at Albrights Hudson or Eshelmans out of Idaho? they have large part stores.

I WILL SEND OUT EMAILS TO THE TWO CONTACTS YOU SUGGESTED. THIS PART HAS BEEN A TOUGH ONE TO LOCATE AND I SEE IT EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL.
THANKS FOR THE INFO.

Wow great news. Good for you. Always nice to have the spiffy shiny dash. Love the dash on the 40. Trivia here that dash was designed by a woman designer hired by Frank Spring.

hello ...
i am very pleased to have the dash looking better. i can see where a woman designed the dash layout .. stylish, sleek, almost sexy in the dashboard light mode while evening parking. .....  ( it has been referred to as the "stabbin' cabin' " due to past adventures in love ..  )
but ....
she must have been a smoker !!! 3 ashtrays in the dash ? ( 1 on driverside - 1 in center - 1 on driverside ) .... as a non smoker, i have to ask ... "why ? " ..... then hide the radar detector in the space provided. 
another thing off the list !
still too cold up here to do much in the garage .... 22 degrees today inside !
one of these days i'll get to heating the garage. ..... on the flip side, it is always 15 degrees cooler inside my garage in the summer monthes.
cheers ...
