Thanks everyone for the discussion about the dash restoration company in Australia. I just contacted them ( www.dashboardrestorations.com.au ) about my dash and they said: send the dash with fittings, gauges, vents, etc. to the Vancouver, Washington bulk shipper and they would send it to Austrailia - six weeks - $582 US. Check out their website and fill out the form - they contacted me the next day. They also said they were shipping first week of July.

I understand there is an intake mainfold balance or cross-over tube that does not have the standard emissions mounting stuff in the casting. This is for an early 1970 setup and the brake vacuum fitting comes out the back end of the tube. I understand it comes from Australia. Would like one. I am using a mechanical advance dual point distributor.

I am going to try Just Dashes in California (www.justdashes.com 800.247.3274) for my dash. Found them in Hemmings. They vacu-form new plastic over the old foam. Not cheap ($800 +/-), but good recommendations.

Looking for wire type hose clamps in all sizes especially radiator.
