extra holes on bottom of dash - are they meant for anything in particular?



what are the rectangular holes for?


the rubber bumpers in the glove box & ash tray - are they available?



Other questions - is this a wiring chase or perhaps for a AC or heater hose?


How does the glove box knob come off?


Anyone need an original speaker


what does this attach too - firewall??


Going to start the body work on the dash & get it painted - was satin black a standard dash color ? I have black panels & white bucket seats, probably use a white/off white headliner but also wondered about stock headliner colors too, anyone know?

Who makes aftermarket headliners?

Yeah I know,lots of questions - thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Heres a pic showing the harness channel and the radio brace. 2 items you asked about.
Holes under the dash. On the drivers side is 3 set of 2 angled holes. Those are for the accessory switches. Rear defrost, A/G hood, ect. Under the ash tray are two pairs of holes for the vent cables. Your's looks a little messed up.

what are the rectangular holes for?

Also for the switches.

hey thanks guys,a pic's worth a 1000 words sometimes. Didin't even dawn on me that that could be a radio bracket! Anybody got pic's of the switches & lights your talking about for under the dash?

Anyone have any idea's on the other stuff - headliner, dash colors, etc...?

Oh yeah, am I dreaming to want a tic-toc tach instead of my clock?

Thx!

You rang? Here's an Air Grabber switch for that dash with light fixture that shines through the rectangular hole to illuminate the switch bezel.

why did some dashes have the AC/heat vent on the drivers side & some not. 72 RR's has the vent & I'm planning on running an AC setup, probably stock as I have the AC heater box but have considered the aftermarket ones that retro in as well.

At least know I know I cant have the tic - toc, I'll switch to a tach. I presume I can buy a repop one ?

Thx!

Theres an A/C dash frame and a non-A/C frame. Difference is the drivers side vent for A/C.
Reproduction tachs are out there.

is the drivers side vent the only difference between an AC dash & a non AC dash or are there other subtleties I should be aware of?

I do have a vent for the drivers side, I could fab the hole in if its the only difference but it'd be nice to have a oic of an AC dash frame as well.

thanks ,Evan

I have an extra A/C dash frame hanging around If you need one.

Glove box lock. On inside of door you should see a small slot in the lock housing. Look in this slot, you should see a wafer, press in with a paper clip & pull cylinder out. May need to trip latch so cylinder will turn so that you can see it. If you have key insert it first, if not you may need to push in on each wafer one at a time.

Hi Doug, I sent you a PM.
Thanks, Evan

Another question if I can hop on. Does anyone know the location of the screws to take the dash pad off?

Hi Doug (72Roadrunner) - I sent you a PM about the dash & misc=, not sure if you've seen it yet or not. Please give me a shout when you get a chance - thanks a lot!


Hi other Doug (Express) here's some pic's of the glove box door & lock that I'm trying to get the lock cylinder out of, maybe you can show me something obvious I'm missing!




and here's some updated pic's of the dash after a little hammer & dolly work, welding, grinding, filler & sanding down. I plan on shooting it in epoxy then topping with SEM hot rod black.













Thanks all!

Evan,
Do you have the key for the lock? The correct procedure to remove the lock cylinder requires having the key and the latch in the lock position, key removed. You should then see a spring loaded tang through the small square hole in the bottom of the hatch housing. Depress the tang with a small tool of some kind and insert the key; lock cylinder should then slide out. Without the key there is another small square hole 90 degrees away, under one of the mounting tabs and difficult to get to with the latch in the door, would have to depress the retaining tab and the tumblers one at a time to get the cylinder out intact.
Check your pm, talk soon

I agree with the other Doug Great minds think alike. Sometimes they will stick, get your finger nails behind the thumb turn & pull when you push in the retainer.+

Here is one of my favorite tools for retainers.

Also on the bottom of the dash, 4 of the holes could be used for the fresh air cables.
Good job on filling those holes on the bottom.

Three possibilities for the underdash holes.
