I've made a dash out of MDF and it fits well when you apply pressure to it, but I have no idea how to attach it, ie with screws.
How have you guys attached yours?
Thanks in advance

Stage One Kit Fitted
Posted 15 August 2010 - 12:08 PM
I've got a walnut dash and it's attached with a couple of bolts pointing out (towards the front of the car) and then brackets go onto those with wing nuts holding them in place. The brackets pull the dash between the top & bottom rails.
I guess this is a pretty standard fixing as it seems the most straightforward.

How about something like this ...Fitting Kit
I bought and used one of these, easy enough to make you're self but for the hassle of buying the bits vs a tenner it's a much quicker solution.
Hasn't let me down five later either, depsite it now being attached to my third dashboard!
