IML: General restoration questions on a 68 Convertable

I would like some general info and suggestions. I just bought my Imp
and want to keep her looking nice. So I have the following questions:
1. Suggestions on what to put in the dash to keep it from cracking and
curling. Right now there are a few hairline cracks you can see if the
light is just right but mostly shee looks good. But it feels dry and
does have on inch long or so crack at the corner of a speaker? cover.
Any good products to preserve it ?
2. The brass needs polished. Any suggestions on products or techniqes?
Also there are two pieces missing. Any sources for sheet material from
which to make replacements would be appreciated.
3. I didn't see a good reference in the library on the auto pilot. Mine
is not working but what really bothers me is it seems to be interacting
with the speedometer. If I don't have the auto pilot speed dial set to
about the speed I am going, the speedometer needle swings back and forth
by about 35 mph rather than setting in on a speed. If I do move the
auto pilot dial to about what I am going then the speedometer needle
settles right down and sits steady. Any hints or suggestions on the
problem and the fix please.
Thanks,
Ron
