[Tigers] Wood Dash Grab Handle / Dimensions

[Andy Walker]

I guess the grab handle wood pieces come in all different varieties…I don’t know the measurements since it’s already back on the dash, but it was originally connected to the back of the original dash with two tacks; the same kind of tacks that held the leather wrap in place around the handle.  If there was any glue between the dash and the piece, it must have been extremely light; once I got the tacks loose, the piece came right off.

"  1. Re: Wood Dash Grab Handle Retrofit (Allan Ballard)

Ron, you're welcome.

 

Yes, 6 and 1/2" by 3/4".

 

The ends are not cut square. They flare out a bit at the bottom."

 

 

I've less length, girth and zero flare... but I get the job done. (Not the first time this has been said btw...)  Also don't have those screws, nor anything other than glue holding to dash.

 

(6 3/8"L x 1/4"H x 3/4"*D)

 

*The new dash, allows 3/4" D, but did not duplicate the slope / nor curve that the original had.  Sanding both added wood and dash back to match.  If you're bored and finicky.

 

There are beveled edges on the original and new wood dash opening; I would make the piece match to where the bevel stops(starts).

 

Whoa, OCD minutiae here...nice. ;-)
