[Mgs] 1974 MGB dashboard removal.

Since you may not have had a reply, I can tell you what I remember from doing my 72B about ten years ago. You took out the bolts at the top of the dash but there are also bolts on the bottom, I think three. They are probably Philips head screws, three of them that attach tabs from the metal underlying dash to the frame/bar on the body.

Hello everyone,

 

I've recently started a project on my 1974 MGB to give it a long-overdue wiring harness replacement.

 

Taking the dashboard out has been the source of a few headaches. I know it's probably best to remove the gauges and switches, pull the choke cable, and make sure the speedo and oil pressure line are disconnected.

 

Now, I've removed the seven bolts up at the top of the dash, but I still can't remove it.

 

Are there other bolts that I'm missing, and does the steering column need to be lowered? If anyone could supply pictures, that would be very helpful. Once it's out, I'm going to replace the foam fascia as it's rather cracked and dingy. But good wiring is the most important thing.

 

Thank you,

-William Killeffer
