    I'm reinstalling my dash and have a couple of pieces that aren't telling me where they go. Anyone recognize them? Only have the main dash piece and dash pad in place so far Thanks for any help.

    lower piece holds the main wiring harness in place, two are used just below the instrument cluster
    don't know about the upper, but it's not a radio bracket. that's shaped differently...

    OK, that's one. I thought that's what it might be but had no clue where it went. Thanks. :thumbs2:

    Maybe. I currently have the defroster tube just hanging by the bent tabs up under the dash. Thought that's how it came out but its been a while.

    Probably should have mentioned its a factory AC car.

    Thanks.

    The big L one isn't the bracket that holds the far right of the heater assembly up to the bulkhead is it? I remember there being about 5 bolts through the bulkhead and 1 fixing inside the car up to the underside of the cowl...

    Could be. There is a strap toward the center of the car waiting to support the heater/AC box. Maybe the L-shaped bracket holds the right side. I'll look for a fit there. Thanks.

    Is this it? Maybe a stiffener from the thin part between the ashtray and dash pod opening to the base of the dash? :huh:
