The dash has a securing bracket at the bottom and it has an electrical component attached with the wire connections cut. Wondering if it is a "Microswitch"? FYI all of the lights worked on this car before I started dismantling. Second question is related to the dashpad. The front edge of mine was glued to the dash making it real difficult to remove. Looks like from other dash photos on the forums here that the two pieces should be separate. How was the dash assembly fabbed at the factory?

Sorry to drag this thread back a bit but I thought I should mention - those angle brackets on Steve's dash are original fitment, they attach to the body via the door switches and secure the corners of the dash by bolting to the plates that can be seen at either end of the back of the dashboard...
