Any ideas on where I can find a new foam instrument panel surround? Removed my fake carbon fibre surround and the foam beneath is a little marked from the glue.
somebody has got them re-made in the past, will search at leisure. If someone found a foam source then the rest is not too bad.
They were @5yrs ago, not sure now, but when I ordered one it turned up in a much lighter grey material. Note it was ordered from a Ducati dealers, and came with all the usual Ducati labels etc. Not a lot of good if you are wanting an original look:
I'm probably teaching you to suck eggs, but anyhoo- I use this site to see if parts are available. I then use the part no. to order it from a dealer. 40810041A is showing as unavailable. https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/d.../900-SS/SPEEDOMETER-FM-016055-/496/3405/0/496 I was lucky enough to find a cheap carcass with good foam. Good luck.
I was offered a grey one from a local dealer in recent times, it was new but it'd crushed storage marks and listed at a premium price as usual, i walkED away from that secondhand look.
I've been through this before. You can't get new ones, but the three dial is easier to find in new condition. I do have a nearly new dash which I put on my bike for a while, it looks pretty much mint, which I would sell if interested. I'm home tomorrow and can get pics. Ive gone to a 3 dial
I completely misread your post! Sorry! I thought you said "you can". I'd like a new one. Not grey though!
The part I ordered @5yrs ago was 40810041A, but I can't remember if I ordered it through Snells or Moto Rapido. I do remember it being really cheap, and excitedly ripping the packaging open only to be really disappointed when I saw the colour of it. As mentioned it was definitely a genuine Ducati part. Looking online now that part number is coming up as no longer available, but I did find this: https://www.duc-store.de/Dashboard-Foam-400/-600-/750-/-900SS
I measured this up a number of years ago and have a .dxf file. I supplied someone the .dxf file for them to get it cut out but did not here anything back. I would have to check but think its a closed cell foam not really sure of the material. Also from memory it was 24mm thick, not sure thats available so would possibly be 25 or 2 x 12 maybe. If any one wants the file to get some done thats no problem. Please note I have measure and checked and done the best I can to get it as close as I can to the shape, I would get a test one done first to make sure your happy. Cheers Gaz
I planned to do the same, copy the carbon fibre cover I pulled off. Please could you share the file with me @gaz92?
If you look on Ebay for 'black neoprene foam 25mm thick' you can find something that looks like the correct material.
I think it's Closed Cell Foam. Looks as if you can get it cut to shape. Did investigate a CNC router but the hobby ones look too small for the size I want (looking for a project!).
Appreciate you may now be sorted, as promised this pic is the dash I have. It was a genuine NOS that I had fitted for less than a year. If anyone is interested PM me
