Title: What’s missing here!
Post by: dakazman on Monday,March 01, 2021, 02:40:21 PM

   I have the four screws that attach th wood dash to the dash pad area but missing a bracket at the ground area . I just have two  “L”  brackets ... is that it?

For the TC, and I assume the S2 is the same, the four screws go through a vertical part of the fiberglass from the part under the crash pad. There are two brackets that attach to the ends of the dash near the vent nozzles. There two small ‘L’ brackets for attaching the bottom of the dash to the backbone.

Yep, just two "L" brackets to attach lower area of dash to the backbone on the Type 54.
They don't seem to appear in BDA's link but the two dash end brackets do.

Thanks for clarifying, Gavin! The small’ ‘L’ brackets weren’t on that page. I should have said that page was meant to show the brackets at either end of the dash.

No worries, BDA.
Here's a pic stolen from a Grumblebuns post.  :pirate:
Pretty meaty bolts for such tinny brackets.

  Thanks guys ! 
 Now I can stop looking . Those “L” brackets are on my wiring board with the grounds still attached.
BDA , I do have the other brackets that attach the dash to jamb area.
