It's time to make the Classic Dash surround fit into my dash area due to the leather wrap.
The first thing I need to do is remove the Headlight Switch, Digital Dash and Autometer Clock.
Instead of shaving a couple millimeters off the supplied bracket I chose to install two washer. On final install a star washer
as it will prevent the bolts from coming loose.
All parts safely stored back in the box
Time to start slowly trimming down the surround.
As you can see I removed a lot of material.
I need to enlarge the hole in the headlight switch and ended up pulling out the special drill bits to get it nice and tight.
These are the sharpest drill bits I have ever used and if you run your finger over them it will definitely cut them.
