[Healeys] Dash mount studs or bolts BJ8

[Rich C]

Wes,

There are four mounting holes that line up the base of the windshield 
stanchions to the body in this location. One of these bolt holes (second one 
down) should also line up the oval hole in the dash mounting bracket. There 
are usually aluminum shims that need to pack between these stanchions and 
the body to adjust the fit of the windscreen assembly to the body. These 
also have the 1/4" bolts passing through these shims. The heads of the bolts 
should be on the inside of the car with the flats, lockwashers and nuts 
sitting outboard as shown in the accompanying picture. There is relief in 
the under side of the quarter trim panels to allow for the thickness of the 
bolt heads.
