HDJ81 1995 dash Question. (1 Viewer)

[charlay61]

Okay. My dash is cracked like most.

55401-60140-E0 was in stock at first at amayama. However, after paying for it and all it turns out its not in stock anymore...

So, after doing some research. 55401-60160-E0 is in stock. From what i can tell, the first one is for 95's and the second one is for 96-97's. Anyone know the difference between a 95 and a 96/97 Dash ? Sensor location ? My dash has 2 sensors. 1 light sensor for the auto hvac, and 1 light sensor for the auto headlight. Was that removed on the 96/97 ??
I'm pretty sure it will bolt on, but there might be some little variations.
Using the EPC, i was able to find the applications to vehicule with the part numbers:

One may be LHD and the other RHD.

Cross the number into partsouq to see if it gives an alternative number.

Also, if it is gray or oak in color may be a difference.

a good interior repar shop can fix it and it won't be noticeable at at all

the second option is to flock the dash this is something I will do in the future. Dash is flocked - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/dash-is-flocked.1016470/

The secondary part number is showing as in stock also at Amayama? Amayama is famous for claiming 'in stock' status for difficult to find parts only to email you 1-2 weeks later they can't get it. It's happened to me numerous times - never had a problem getting a refund, but it can divert your time and efforts away from finding a real solution since you think you found the correct part. So be careful... If Amayama shows the part in stock and nobody else does, there's a decent chance it's not really in stock,

Amayama doesn’t stock anything. Zero parts.

Amayama is basically a distributed computer program.

They are relying on generally non-real-time inventory information of its suppliers.

Well i figured it out and it was pretty simple. Its the airbag slot! 95 no airbag, 96-97 airbags! So it won't be the same! Thank for the info guys! I know amayama doesnt always have everything availaible. But for that one, after 2 weeks of waiting they had told me the order was ready and ready for payment and all. Then 2days after paying they cancelled it.

I need one of these exact dash pieces as well. Searched hi and low and nothing. I have covered it for now with a dash cover.
