[TR] Dash instruction sheet.

[Bob Danielson]

Crabby.......it's been 10 years since I did mine so I'm working from memory
and 3 things stand out.

1. If you still have to drill the hinge holes for the glove box door, put
some masking tape on the wood where you have to drill or you can get a "star
crack" in the finish. Also start with a very small drill and step drill up
to the needed size. The finish is very thick and very hard.

2. Tighten the dash screws like you'd tighten a cylinder head.... A little
at a time and in a balanced pattern. Don't over tighten the screws as the
metal dash probably isn't perfectly flat and if you try to really get the
wood dash tight to it, you may bend it and crack the finish.

3. Around the glove box door opening, use thin wood wedges between the wood
and metal dash to get the door lined up when it's closed. I probably have
1/16" - 1/8" wood spacers lining it all up.

After 10 years mine looks as good as the day I installed it. Randy does
beautiful work.

Does anyone have a copy of the instruction booklet that came with a dash
from Prestige Autotrim.
I bought a dash last year and am now ready to replace the old one and have
misplaced the sheet.
I suppose I could do it without, however I remember reading it and it was
very self explanatory step by step.
I have attempted to go on their web site but it really doesn't exist except
for a sheet about what they offer.

Thanks
