Lew,
I too am laughing wildly. You are correct. All Early Spits (till the
70 Mk3 with the new type Dash, have map pockets on both sides of the
centet instrument cluster. Yes, the padded braces attach to the center
Brace (Dash to floor) and the Upper "A" post on the outside. The
cardboard map pockets attach to the braces.
I am somewhat confused, however, by the still-attached trip reset
cable. As you indicated in an earlier message, the reset is supposed to
attach to the triangular piece to the right of the steering column.
I hope that helps clear up the question.
Regards,
Joe Curry '63 Spit
PS The later model Spits also have the padded brackets, only they are
shaped different and only one goes under a map pocket.
