Michael, Alan ...,

=46rom the concours guidelines,
Early fascias were of a two-piece design, with the raised instrument cluster=
 a second piece that could be removed to get access to the back of the instr=
uments. A black plastic welting, similar to the welting used between bumpers=
 and over riders (but taller) was used between the instrument pod and main f=
ascia panel. When installing, this welting must be carefully trimmed on the i=
nside to clear the mounting lugs. The black plastic welting is spliced direc=
tly above the steering column.=20

I've seen pictures somewhere but can't seem to find them.

Best regards,
Richard
BN2 with one piece fascia.
