Hi, has anybody done it? How does it fit - and where does it need to be attached by screws, clips or?
It is quite flimsy, so I'm a bit concerned about fitting it - afraid of it breaking. :/

It is really only suitable fot LH drive cars.
I once bought an Inno Cooper 1275 which had been converted to RHD and it looked very odd. Soon converted it back to LHD as it should have been. Then it looked fantastic. There never was a RHD Innocenti

Is it a repro from Spain or an original one?

Be aware that the top rail is different on the innocent, the heater vents and ashtray are different so the top rail cover will not fit without mods.

Morning if it is original as you say it might be very brittle so you need to be very careful.
I had success in the past installing one with the help of a hairdryer. You need the metal frame for the two big clocks speedo and rev counter to be able to install it.
Good luck john

Yes it is extremely brittle. Luckily I have two, so if I f*ck up, I'll have an extra. :) I do have the frame for speedo+rev counter, and all the original clocks.
And I managed to get it into the car, but what a PITA to align all the gauges, have the wiring loom fit, and the worst part - fitting the oil pressure gauge as it is mounted with the original copper piping..

Mine is cracked is has some of the screw holes broken as well so it will need some restoration before it goes back in the car (which should hopefully go to the painters soon). How did you get it fitted in the end?
