I can confirm that the dash support does some good. Mine is still out
after doing a clutch job (no holes punched in the carpet, so getting the
buggering bolts in requires more time than I've had lately). Dash does
shake some.

Well, don't think it's just the thick-legged types who suffer. I find
that after three hours in the car with the dash support installed, I
have a near-permanent dent in my right leg--it's pretty much wedged
against the left-hand side of the dash support (6'4" in a GT6). I've
gone so far as to consider making a new one with strap on that side to
replace the bulge in the casting.
Cheers.
