What is it made of? Is it plastic? I would think that you could use some sort of filler in the cracks and then use a plasticote-type paint for plastic and repaint it.

There are companies out there which will make you one (CNC) exactly the same as what you have if you mail them the cracked one. You can then choose the material and finish you like.
You can also make the drawing with the free program you can download at http://www.frontpanelexpress.com and have it machined from anodized aluminum. DO NOT order a black one. Black anodized aluminum tends to turn purple in the sun.

All this is only valid if you have a flat helm panel and not one of these curved in all directions one....

Gee, why not make one out of teak, or other wood? It can go over the cracked one, and be screwed on from under the dash.

I recently restored my dash - not sure if it would work for your application as well. My dash components were made of plastic so I epoxy'd the cracks, sanded it, then wrapped it - see the link to the thread at the bottom.....
