Could someone please post a pic of how the dash ends are attached on the MkIV. Manual is vague IMHO.
Thanks,
Bob

They aren't attached. They simply tuck in behind the hinges. If you're using the aluminum dash cut 2" off the end of the passenger side.

As per Jeffs' instructions I recurved mine over a coffee can to match the body opening and they just friction fit. Here's a couple of pictures.

Norm, Sorry to hijack but, I am intrigued by your turn signal stalk. What is that?

Due to Transport Canada restrictions on kit cars there are a bunch of items we Canadians can't get with our kits. The electrical system is one of them. I used a 12 circuit hot rod kit and made up the rest of the stuff myself. I grew up on a hobby farm in BC. Cars that wore out or got too expensive to fix just got parked in the back woods of the property. While I was in the process of building my roadster I went home for a visit and stole some parts off the back woods parked 71 Volvo 144s that was the first car I drove legally on the highway.
The turn stalk was the only one I used. I ordered my kit with a blank dash and set it up in the comp configuration which left me room for the turn stalk that I had cut down and bent to fit. It self cancels due to a cancelling lug I attached to the steering shaft. Here's a You Tube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjRlKWlGeug.
Sorry for the thread drift.

Norm B. I'm liking that turn signal solution quite a lot.
