Hello,
I have a 1974 Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300. I need to remove the dash, but I cant seem to figure out how to go about it. Ive looked under the dash for screws, but havent found any. Thanks!

Im not with the car at the moment, but this is what the dash looks like.

Those are truly the most gorgeous dash in any mini. I don't know about the originals, but some of the replicas are held in by screws that you can only get to after reaching in through the air vents (after them out obviously). Might be worth a look.

I cant seem to get a response from Cooperman. Anyways, I tried removing the vents, but they wont budge. I removed the rings on the outside, but the part that houses the 'eyeball' will not come out. :(

You have mail.

Sorry not to reply sooner, but I've been flying my glider most of today.

It is a lovely dash, but so many people seem to ruin the classic interior and the instruments so well-placed for the driver by converting the car to RHD. As far as I know there were never any as-original Innocentis with RHD. I had to convert mine back to LHD.
