Looking for the base of the screen surround for e85/86 where the screen sits inside and fits into the dash.

Condition doesn’t matter.

Thanks

What do you need it for? (Since you say condition doesn't matter)

I turned one into a bodge-it-and-scarper oddment tray that was a temp measure until I put something else there. I used some spray carpet glue to put some carpet material in it - I had also re-used the switches and it's got LEDs in place so may be too bad for your requirements

Yep I wanted it for that same purpose. I have some faux leather I was going to cover it with.

Would you cover the entire piece? - I could removed the LEDs & switches, then you could use something like Sugru to fill the gap(s), then when you cover it, you'd cover the imperfections anyways. (That's assuming you cover it in it's entirety - which in all fairness would probably be a good idea)

Yeh was thinking to cover the lot. Hoping it would come out clean but also wondering how it would fit because the material is a little thick.

But maybe I would cut holes for the leds-not sure. Depends how they look.

Well, let me know if you'd like it then and if so, I'll pull it out my car, remove the excess crap like the LEDs and the switches (Since I have cut into them and re-purposed them) I'll leave the carpet attached though just incase you wanna see what it's like - albeit I didn't cut it very well ha

I picked up one of these earlier in the week for strategic spares for mine (the screen bit). What’s the frame bit worth to you? Cheers
