<p>Wow! I wonder if any of the other original cars have this
detail. It sure helps me to install mine. Once again, Michael to
the rescue. So, now I will have to cut off the inside edge at the
attachment points and over the steering wheel and also make the
seam right at the top above the turn signal indicator. The
collective knowledge of the list is amazing.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Hi Michael,<br>
There was a black plastic strip between the 2 dash sections. As
far as I am aware it was similar to, if not the same as, that
used between the bumper overriders and the blade.<br>
On my early car I'm confident that the strip was original but
oddly one side ( the inside) had been cut off as can be seen in
the attached pic.<br>
I installed the same material as the overriders and found that
until I cut one side off it was virtually impossible to produce
the sharp curve that is required above the steering column so I
suspect that is why this was done.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have an early two piece dash for my BN2.
I guess it's just to start conversations at Healey
meets. I can hear it now, "hey, BN2s didn't have a two
piece dash!".</div>
<div dir="ltr">Well my question is what was used between
the instrument pod and the dash panel, or was anything
at all used. 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?</div>
