dash-birdcage filler panel

(1/2) > >>

Scott:
As I was pulling out my dash last night, I noticed that when looking through the windscreen, there is a gap between the dashboard and the birdcage that I can see straight though and I can see in behind the dash.  I can also see the top of the birdcage.

Am I missing something along the back of the dash top here?  I didn't take any pics last night to help explain what I mean.

The car is a 73 vert with an 80's front clip and dash.

craigh:
Do you have a picture Scott.

Are you referring to the front edge of the Dash Pad where it meets the bottom of the windscreen .  If so there would be a lip that it sits on top of.

Scott:
I'll be able to grab a pic tonight.

Scott:
Here are some pics of the gap.  I'm sure something is supposed to be filling it.

craigh:
I see what U mean...

My 71 has a small metal lip that the dash pad sits on with clips



The bracket also holds it up and in place.

Your 80 Dash may need a much bigger filler panel than that.

Get a copy of the 80 AIM page showing the dash assembly and  we can compare it to the 71 AIM.
