This afternoon, I installed the fuel tank we restored yesterday. It fit perfectly in the pre-drilled mounting holes in the new trunk floor pan. That is one of the benefits of using OEM parts made in the UK.
Pictured to the left is the old dash out of the "B". What a mess. The vinyl cover is brittle and cracked and the metal structure is rusted around both ends.
I plan to remove the vinyl and foam covering and repair the rusted areas with new metal. I may at that point, use the metal structure as a base for a custom fiberglass instrument panel...still in the design stage.
Stay tuned,
Tom McCurry
