    Removable dash install?

    I know I have seen advice on installing a roadster dash so it is easily removable with the body on somewhere in this forum but now cannot seem to find it. Anyone know where it is? Yes, I tried multiple searches but I must not be doing it correctly because it has not come up. Thanks, BB.

    I removed my dash yesterday trying to trouble-shoot a ground gremlin. I did not do anything special, just some industrial velcro at the top to attach the dash to the curved bar and I also have Mike Everson's under dash support. Removed the latter, unscrewed the grab bar and steering wheel and she came off no problems.

    Check out my build thread. You make tabs and trim the dash to fit the top bar. Check post #31.

    I made drop down tabs and installed Rivet Nuts so that I could have exposed #10 S.S. Button Head 1/8" Allen Screws.
    The tabs allowed the screws to follow the contour of the body cowl, plus I used the same fasteners for the top of the trans tunnel, slave cylinder dog house, stereo switch console, and other access panels.
    The steering wheel is also removable via an SFI Approved Quick Release so I don't have a hassle getting the wheel out of the way either.
    You can see how it turned out in the attached video:

    NOTE: EdwardB's Method Is More Elegant, But I'm A Simple Man With Simple Needs & So Is My Solution!
