Dash swap / underdash maintenance?

[nsr250]

Well, it's taken me over a year to get around to replacing the worn out dash with the one I received from Knox Motorsports (Steve's old one). I have the dash out but was wondering if there's anything else I need to look for / fix while it's out? I'd hate to put the good one back in only to find there was something I should have tended to.

Thanks

including new facia?....

Nope, just the dash top itself. Of course everything else is out too.

From the condition of mine and what I've seen posted recently - take a look at the glued tabs and re-glue as needed.
Good Luck.

Finally took the time to get everything back together. I now have a dash with no nasty rattle/squeak and a fully functioning glove box. I now have another slight problem. I'm sure it's something I've overlooked but both my boost gauge and oil pressure are reading low. I think even my voltage gauge is on the low side. What could I have mucked up while I had the dash apart? Any ideas?

[nsr250]

Never mind. Looking at things for the 4th time I found a plug I forgot to "snap" all the way back together. All is well with the world again!!

Glad it's all back together. Congratulations on a job well done.

Nsr250, What was your total time for removal and replacement. I am doing my new dash replacement, but was wondering what kind of time I should set aside. Thanks.

Got er done! Whoa it was a beast but I am so happy with the results I feel like I am a lot more knowledgable about my little car. So many thing were unglued. But ever single part was there. I put it all back. Once The felling returns to my hands and figures I will tackle the new steering wheel. Ther are two types of dash board I discovered. The older one like mine had had metal rebars bolted to the underside. The newer ones do not. The bars are molded into the dash...
