[Healeys] Early Two Piece Dash

[Richard Korn]

 I bought this when I had my bumpers done. It's a shade bigger than the original so it might be ok for the pod.

They have a great selection of trim items and very nice to deal with.nfi.

A black plastic welting, similar to the welting used between bumpers and over riders (but taller) was used between the instrument pod and main fascia panel. When installing, this welting must be carefully trimmed on the inside to clear the mounting lugs. The black plastic welting is spliced directly above the steering column.

I have been told it was just screwed directly to the dash panel and I have also heard it had a plastic/vinyl protective strip kind of like the stuff that goes between the bumper and the overriders.  I have looked in Austin Healey 100 in Detail and Roger Moments restoration guide.  They both say what car s had the two piece dash, but go into no detail.  Anyone have one of these really early cars can tell me before I mar the paint on the dash panel?
