Dashboard

As we've put a new clip on the front of the van, we wanted to keep the original dashboard out of our van. So it got cut up:

Here looking from the back of the dashboard:

You can see its like 'machine gun alley' with all the holes in it.

The 'Y' piece will get removed, split into two and repaired.

In the bottom left of the picture, the 'Y' piece is badly crushed. Thankfully, the other side looks nearly perfect so we have a shape and contours to follow:

The horizontal support pieces here are badly out of shape - they should be straight!


The two tabs sticking out from the underneath of the dash are where the speedo pod locates. The 'tray' that the pod sits on has been moved in the past, so this will be re-aligned

The vertical tube is wrong, it should have a opening section to allow heat into the cab area.


The 4 holes in the flat bit of the dash are where the passenger grab handle is fixed to the dash. The other holes are being welded up
