I'm in the middle of rebuilding my dash.
I'm using the following parts (all from 914 rubber - Thanks Mark!) New top dash. New top padding and vinyl that goes on the top between the windshield and back of the dash top. New rubber seal for inside front windshield to dash top. New dash face metal and vinyl. I removed the steel dash frame - as it made a lot of sense to me. It appears I can assemble the whole dash (all the parts above - except the seal that would go on last) onto the steel frame, and then install the whole assembled dash in the car. Then finally install the windshield seal. AS OPPOSED TO - putting the steel frame back in - then putting the dash on the frame, etc. Bottom line is putting the dash onto the frame and then into the car - seems to me to be a whole lot easier to do. Has anyone done it that way? Thanks, Len |

Does this make sense to pull the dash and work on it in your lap for wired cars? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
Plastic dash bolts suck! |

Unless someone did something.....uh, creative.... with the wring, it won't get in the way of removing the dash. You do have to detach the gauges and switches from the frame though. Those are easier to install on the wiring harness, then connect to the dash frame after. |
