Mk2 Dash brackets
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I'm getting to the point in my restoration where it's time to think about putting the dash back together. The center fold-down gauge/switch panel is complete but I don't know where the hardware goes for the left and right wood. The wood was beautifully refinished by the PO but all the hardware that presumably came off is in a bag labeled "dash left" and "dash right". I know I have seen pictures somewhere and a search of this forum did not turn up any details. The factory manual is not very detailed on the subject. Even Valvechatter, my usual go-to, did not have the details I'm looking for.
Can anyone point me to some pictures? My car is LHD but I can probably figure it out with RHD pictures, too.
Thanks in advance.
Craig

Doing up the nuts on the bracket with the large hole in it is an absolute PITA ! As I recall, one uses a very small rachet-drive wrench. I think this was how the factory lads did the job. Back in the day, nobody at Jaguar ever gave a thought as to how things could be assembled. The line workers were on piecework so had to think up the best way themselves !

Thank you, gentlemen!
There are also two fairly small plates with studs that look like they go into rectangular recesses near the bottom of the driver's side (left, in my case) panel. Of course, they can be flipped around and the screw holes still line up so I am not sure what they are for and which way around they go. A photograph of the brackets in place would still be helpful.
