New dash fitted

Davedavies · Sep 9, 2010

This is one for anyone with a later version of the parts catalogue than PET5

I have just installed a later dash in an early car so I get the glovebox on the passenger side.
I have had to replace the centre air distributor ducting as the ducting for the passenger side has to be moved to allow for the glovebox.

All is fitted OK but the parts catalogue I have doesnt show an alternative duct from the centre distributor to the vent.
There must be an alternative one as the original is incorrect shape and size.

Can anyone let me have the part numbers for the duct from the centre distributor ducting that is parallel to the floor and the small piece that fits on the rear of the vent in the dash.

These will be listed for 2002 onwards car and I need left hand side for Right hand drive car.
Items 5 and 6.

Cheers
Dave.

Sounds like a good project. I hope you've taken some photos of the install to share with us.

Still mid way through, other than the vent, all should be done by weekend.
I wish I had taken pics as I pulled it to pieces and during rebuild.

Had to re-wrap the cloth wiring harness tape as most had come undone.
Hopefully there wont be any more rattles when finished.

Looking quite good now, new carpet with free Bose sub and replacment later dash.
It was also a good opportunity to get the silver dash insert strips to match the glovebox handle and door handles.

Just ordered some nappa leather to get centre console covered to match rest of interior and get rid of scratches.

Will post pics when finished

Thanks for your help once again, I've had some really good feedback and replies from the forum as a whole and would like to thank all who have advised and helped me out.

Just finished the dash transplant.
Still have to fit a replacement vent duct behind the glovebox and complete some wiring but here it is.

It looks like a black and white photo, but it is colour [

A while ago I asked ofr pictures and options for the centre console.
I finally deceided to cover in in leather to match the dash, eyc.

I will attach a picture of the dash in seperate post as can only attach one at a time.
