I am looking for some guidance on installation of the new carbon fiber dash. I understand that I need to screw the dash to the curved tubing but how are the ends of the dash attached?

I have a youtube video on installing one of these dashes. Gonto youtube search 520 Speedworks and find carbon dash install. The ends do not get screwed to anything.

Thanks! I talked to another member and we came to the same conclusion.

I was at Factory Five last week. they have a roadster cut away in the showroom. where everyone says to cut the last 2 inches they made a 90 degree bend and fastened to the door hinge support. I should have taken a picture.

That aluminum 90 degree bend came with the dash. When I installed mine I never used the 90 degree pieces. I used Mike's underdash panel to "stiffen" the dash more - cut his panel in half to have it on each side of the dash. The ends of the carbon fiber dash fit nicely under the body.
