Hi,

 

My car is fitted with a later MPI Dash.  It never fitted well since getting the car. I just removed it and vinyl wrapped it, as it was cracked as well. It is apparent the middle mounting tab is missing and it contributing to it not fitting well in the middle (other issue is the original clock metalwork is still there). 

 

If anybody happens to have one of these laying around,  could you possibly measure it up for me so I can make one? 

 

The bracket I'm referring to is the one on the lower lip, under the stereo slot. I have air con vents so don't have the bracket in the middle of the dash as shown in this picture which I borrowed from another post.

 

Thanks

There is an earth point(M6 or M8) bolt in the middle, red circle, do you have one?

Haha...  good shout !  Indeed I do not have this.  Obviously why the bracket was removed when fitting the dash.  If it isn't something I can get/make,  then I'll just have to MacGyver something up.  Cheers.
