[Mgs] Mostly quiet

[S.Carr]

Hmmm --  definite difference here between your comments and the instructions that came with the Moss panel (“Dash top pad covers,” 453-905).  The pad is meant  to be glued over the old pad, once all of its cracks and lumps have been smoothed down.

Anyone else have experience with this item?

Thanks,
Sarah

Ideally it's done with the screen out as it tucks under the apron seal, but you can probably get round that - once you have the old cover off.  Also the dash crash rail removed, which probably needs the dash to be removed or again you have the edge facing you to deal with.  I did my 73 as part of a restoration so all that was out of the way anyway.
 
Remove the screen vents.
 
Then it depends on how easily you can get the old one off, and how smooth it leaves the surface.  Use spray adhesive to fix the new one, and cut the slots for the screen vents afterwards.  
 
That's by memory from 32 years ago anyway.

We need to install the replacement dash cover on a 1980 MGB.  Any tips from those who have already done it?
