WTB: Lower Dash piece under steering column

[tferrer]

Hi guys -

So I'm looking for the lower dash piece that resides under the steering column. Looking for one with only two switch cutouts in good condition.

I have the mount brackets so if all you have is the panel itself, I'd still be interested.

You mean the metal lower column cover, or the vinyl cover panel beneath it?

Wes- The lower vinyl dash piece that holds various functional button/switches like the rear defrost or spot lights.

I might have one. That is to say I DO have one, but was trying to make it fit around my different column. I will take a final look today and also check it's condition.

Thanks, that sounds great. Fingers crossed its in good shape.

Well I could chop away at this thing and get it to fit, but it would be just as easy to form a piece out of something else when I get the time. So I’d rather have someone else be able to use it in it’s original state.

Like everything else from my car that I can’t use, (but only the things I can’t use) it’s in nice shape. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty clean. I don’t need the switches or the fuse box door hanger either- it can all stay attached.

let me know if you are interested.

@JetDexter - Thanks! This is interesting. It looks nothing like the one in my car. Did your car have a telescoping steering wheel? Also, does anyone know what those buttons are for? Circuit breakers?

I'm bummed. It's in great condition but I can't use it. I really appreciate the offer, though!

 

[JetDexter]

That’s too bad! Yeah I didn’t realize the telescoping version was so different.

I’m sure you’ll come up with one

Feb 73 and later coupes have circuit breakers and revised switches and motors.

You might consider new vinyl and a vacuum sealer. You need to find the ultra-thin vinyl that we discussed, without a fabric backing. Same stuff used on the console sides.
