First let me say that I've searched everywhere I can think of and haven't found this question or the answer. Searching the web for 32 style Model A dashes for sale gives a plethora of sources and prices. My first thought was to just go to Brookville, but then I got to seeing all these other options. Based on your experience where would (did) you source one and how much is/was it?
I got mine from Brookville. Couldn’t tell you the price. Bought 4-5 years ago and stashed it till I was ready to install it.
Haven't bought a dash, but I have bought other sheet metal for my Model A from Mac's, CW Moss, and Brookville, among others (the other names are escaping me at the moment). Brookville is generally considered among the higher end of quality, but with parts I got from every manufacturer I found that they weren't perfect and none of them fit perfectly on my 95-year-old Model A. You might have a look at this thread as this topic has been discussed here before.
Got mine from Brookville but many of their A parts are made by someone else. More than likely all the distributors get their parts one or two places. It is good quality and fit fine.
No, I didn’t fabricate the panel. I got it from Hot Rods By Dean in Arizona. It’s for a 32’. But with a little shrinking, it fit the width of the model a.
Mine came from Brookville but I trimmed the Model A top rail and welded it to the 32 style dash so it doesn't sit back behind the Model A dash rail. Don't have a real good picture but these were taken when I was building the car.
Here is a pic of a Brookeville 32 A dash. It came with the 31 A roadster when I got it. I modified it to fit the gauge panel I wanted to use.
Are you looking for the sheet metal dash or the instrument panel that the gauges sit in?

I just purchased and received the 32 dash panel from Speedway. I was surprised how nice it looked and have only held it up to my dash rail in the car to see what it would look like. It seemed to have all mounting holes in correct spots and it seems well made. I was going to fab my own panel, but glad I went this route.
Another option for a 30-31 coupe or sedan body dash is the 32-34 Ford pickup dash. Fits good and looks right.
