[Healeys] Hole in the Dash

[John Harper]

Bill

The early 100 had a welded in bracket that just was turned down with a
large hole where a screw, large washer and nut supported the centre of the
dash.

The later BN1s and BN2s had a separate bracket that supported the centre of
the dash with the same central fixings but the top of the bracket fixed to
the same holes as the rear view mirror. The bracket was shaped to allow
spire nuts to be fitted. The mirror then fixed down using course self tap
screws that fitted into the spire nuts below

All the best
