#1 fitting under dash hardura

Post by phoenix » Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:01 pm

Hi I am just trying to fit the three under dashboard hardura and cannot work out how they fit . the long piece seems to be for the glovebox side ,but i can't get to fit. i assume it rests on the small brackets on the bulkhead. S1 4.2 RHD

On my 62 3.8 It goes above the dash lip an under the long sheet metal bracket on the body if I remember correctly.
I'd have to look to be sure and can do that later on if needed.

I didn't know they were hardura, they're millboard or vinyl covered aluminium on late 3.8's which were the same as early 4.2's. Yes the large one is for the passenger side, the smaller ones go either side of the steering column. They attach at the front edge to the tabs protruding from the bulkhead using self tappers into spire nuts. I made mine a fuller shape than originals. At the rear they slot in above the lower lip below the dash panels.
