What heathen would do that to a TR6?! I'd wonder what other "improvements"
he'd made. Jeez.
Anyway, the dash support lends a modicum (I love that word) of rigidity to
the chassis and cuts down on cowl shake over bumps. I'd look for one and
re-cover it if it was ratty. It's a great place for the radio and there's a
blanked hole behind the vinyl for a cigarette-lighter socket; just the
thing for a cellular phone.

Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as large as it needs to be?
