This is where they typically crack, and I'll bet any attempt to repair this 
will be temporary.  I believe Eastwood sells some kind of kit that can be 
used on this.  Maybe somebody here has tried it?

If you're patient, you might get lucky in a junkyard.  A few years ago while 
on a business trip to So. Cal. I found a nice uncracked replacement dash pad 
for something like $15.  I had to hand-carry it on the plane trip home, 
along with a nice set of Fastback pop-out windows and rubber.  Call me 
silly, but I tend to keep an eye out for junkyards when I visit new places.
