Dash tops for early cars, Differences Options

[Lavanaut]

I've recently learned that there were two different dash top styles made for the 914-6, an early style and a late style. Late in this case signifies the '72 models, wherein the distance between the edge of the dash and the opening for the glove box is wider (approx 4" wide) to allow for the dash vents introduced that model year.

The question I have is, for the earlier style, were there any differences between the dash tops used in the 4- and 6-cylinder cars? I need an early /6 dash top, I'm wondering if one from a /4 will work.

Thanks

Lavanaut, I'm confused about your question. Are you asking about the dash top as in the other thread,....or are you asking about the main dash unit that is screwed and bolted to the frame??
If you are questioning the dash top 4 vs 6, then Pat is correct. They are interchangeable for '70/'71.
The all metal main dash unit is another story needing explanation.
