GCotgreave's is going tomorrow
and MG Nut*'s will go as soon as I recieve an address.

That will just leave the four that are coming from the engravers who I will try to chase up tomorrow.

Can you please let me know when you get them and I hope that, after all this time, you like them?

I'm off to see my other woman, in the garage, otherwise I'll never get to Abingdon;)

Hi Ray

Thank you for your kind comments and I'm glad that you are pleased with it.

I'll put a note on the forum but the place that I'd suggest fitting them/where most original ones are is in the centre of the dash-it is slightly more time consuming but you don't need to drill any more holes.

You will need to remove one of the fresh air vents (requires a small screwdriver to help release them) and then from behind the dash push the blanking plug out (where the washer plunger is on chrome bumpered cars) and then fit your dash plaque remembering to fit the rubber washer, plain washer and then tighten up the wing nut.

If you still have any questions please let me know?

Hi

I have had a few questions as to where and how to fit your new plaques and as they say a picture speaks a 1000 words I have taken some pictures.

As far as locations go the two most common/obvious are the centre of the dash behind the blanking plug (which in my opinnion is where they should have all been fitted in 1975) but as it required more work to fit a lot of dealers got their drills out and fitted them to the extreme left hand side of the dash by the glove box. As the latter is fairly straight forward although you do have to drill your dashboard I won't bother commenting.

This view (despite having the RH vent in place) shows the location for your new plaque.

Depending on whether you are right handed of left prize off the relevent vent with a screwdriver or the like being careful not to mark your dashboard.

Once removed push the blanking plug out from behind the dashboard

Remove the wing nut and washers from the plaque and then put the plaque through the dash and refit the washers (rubber,then metal) and then the wing nut and tighten until held tight. [b][color=red]Don't over tighten[/color][/b]

Push the vent back into position making sure that it fits into the rectangular plastic ducting.

I hope that helps

Graham has also fitted his via a simpler method-

[i]Hi Colin
Thanks for the plaque and the window sticker they are superb. Well impressed with the quality of the plaque it's excellent.

Don't know if it's any help but I fitted mine to the blanking plug you suggested but what I did was drill a hole slightly smaller than the thread on the plaque and just screwed it in using the rubber and metal washer. Only took a few minutes. Worth a try even if it doesn't work you can still use the method you seggested.

Again many thanks
Graham[/i]

Thanks for the plaque. Arrived safely, fitted well - and even found out why the central vents were unequal in their air outputs! (Previous trauma to ducting by someone)
