lower dash fixing

[nsparey]

How do you fix the lower dash pannel on the earlier (93-96) Chim? Mine came without one, just recieved a Leven set and tracked down the warning light covers.

If the leven ones are the same as the standard ones there are four (think) screws inside the opening for the stereo - these screw, from the side, into the fibreglass. There are no screws directly on the front and, as far as i know, no glues or adhesives required?

You mean the radio panel? On mine it has two lugs glued onto the back, one either end roughly in the middle. These push into slots either side of the radio aperture. The warning light glass had dropped a bit on mine and I found I could lift the panel that end. Then I noticed the 'tab' thing had come unglued from the rear and was still sticking in the dash. Hope this helps.

I guess the slots for the outer edge of the pannel were attached to the old dash pannel that is missing, made up some new ones from thin sheet and glued them on with that new Araldite super glue, amazing stuff but you have to be quick, sets in 90 secs! All back together now, Leven dash looks fantastic, thanks for the help guys
