Hi,
Looking for a replacement gauge binnacle for my SX21. It doesn't have to be perfect as I'm getting it recovered in a carbon fibre wrap. No cracks would be helpful as mine is in bits already from when I replaced the fuel gauge. Brittle plastic cracked. Any help is appreciated.

I think the same panel size was used on the earlier Z222?

This may be difficult since all of them are getting old and brittle. Any way to epoxy yours back into a suitable form to wrap?

I saw you posted on the facebook page too, which will get much more attention than here so hopefully someone can help out.

Hey Greg, thanks for the response. Yea, he's going to try epoxy it. The only issue is it's going to crack again/more if I need to get at an instrument at some point. Wonder if I can apply a few layers of epoxy to the rear of it to give it some stability.

Have a metal fabricator coming to look at it on Monday. He says he could fabricate a new one but the problem he sees is the anchors for the instrument brackets. Once he looks at it he might be able to work in a solution.

Let you know!

Adding a layer of epoxy to the back could be a workable idea, just look for areas that might interfere if it gets too thick. I would think if you can get it stable with epoxy then adding a wrap on top would also add some strength. Interested to see how it works.
