Stripped showing 5 years of dust. Lot of the RF harness is now redundant & will be pruned. Need to pull steering shaft & put in fresh Belleville washers to tighten it up. Got slightly oversized ones from McMaster.
Panel that the wires are laying on is the Everson under dash piece. Recommend it to stiffen the dash structure.
You can see the system I use to mount the dash by the heavy crease along the top. It eliminates a lot of the trying to guess the correct position in relation to the space frame dash hoop. I have it a press fit between the body & frame at the top. Bottom is supported by 4 screws into the under-dash panel & upward pressure from the console.
Will use this one to layout the holes I need to drill in the new one. Am ordering fresh all metal toggle switches.
