two little 1 inch square pieces of wood on both ends that was glued on the dash and screwed into the face plate. At least that's how it is on my Europa, so assuming same routine.

I am assuming an Elan from your discussion profile and on mine there are two exposed screws that mount the blanking plate on to small extrusions of wood that are glued from behind the dash and the screws (British version of phillips wood screws, name escapes me) are seen from the front and maybe that's what Ted was describing.

My current plus 2 had a plastic panel with a chrome edge . It had two push springs so that it fitted the slot. They looked a lot like those spring clips on glass picture frames.
My first elan had a new dash which came with a veneered panel for the slot !

Two lolly pop sticks glued vertically to the back of dash & blanking panel glued to them. Easy to just push out if you decide to fit a radio later
