Re: Wahoo! found a perfect dashboard/pad 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be Gary Innes on  Sun Dec 2 06:28 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello Chris!!!

There is a pair of tricky, blind fasteners holding the dash-pad,

at the extreme right & left ends. They are threaded studs that fit

into holes in the metal structure. Teeny-weeny nuts are torqued-down

tight on the studs. Your hand must go up/in/back/around to loosen

the little devils. A quarter-inch drive, deep-socket, size 3/8, is

the tool of choice here. Colorful vocabulary is optional.

Don't be tempted to smear Vaseline on the dash; it will only

turn liquid and run in the heat. A thin mat is your best sun-beater,

and you'll probably have to cut it yourself; I don't think any of

the dash-mat firms have patterns for early 140/160 anymore.

Is this good pad going into your 70 164???
