Hey, guys:

 

I've got a new Prestige Autowood dashboard for my Tiger that I hopefully
will be installing soon, but I've got a question.  As you all know, the
original dashes had a small area of the lower rail in front of the cubby box
that was upholstered and intended to be used as a grab handle.  I have an
original dashboard that I have carefully removed that upholstery from, and
I've also been very careful to remove the rounded piece of wood that was
tacked onto the back of the dash which gave the grab area a nice contour to
fit the hand better.  When I removed all of this from the original dash, I
found that the wooden piece was tacked on with two small nails, while the
upholstery was glued into place and tacked down on the end with a total of
five small nails in the bottom of the dash rail.  The last thing in the
world that I want to do is to screw up my new dash trying to transfer this
stuff over to it, so if there is anyone who has done this out there, I would
be most interested in reading how they did it.  Maybe they would also have
some advice about how to avoid screwing things up, too.  

 

The bottom line here is that I can turn wrenches as well as the next guy,
but woodwork is most definitely NOT my forte.  Can anyone either give me
some pointers or at least help boost my confidence???

 

Thanks, guys,

Andy Walker

Edmond, OK
