OK, got the dash out of the parts car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
No cracks, but there are two missing bolts on the side nearest the drivers window. I didn't break them, the metal strip that runs in the dash where the bolts were is rusted and brittle, hence teh bolts just fell out when I touched them. So is this still a good dash??? - Garold |

I have welded studs unto the bumper tops to make them good again...
I'm betting this one would stick up in the corners without studs/nuts.. Although the side pillars on the windshield frame would probably help hold it down. b |

Hey, no comments from the peanut gallery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Are you going to be home between Turkey & Xmas? Might make a run down to Indy for a meeting on Monday Dec 15th. Think I might stop at the race shop there and see about a helmet for autoxing. |

I glued them in with a construction glue like "Liquid Nails" That stuff will hold anything once it dries.
