Dahsboard question

The passenger side bit of dash (the padded bit with the quiksilver/peugeot logo on it)

How do you take this off and how much room is behind it?

I have a lovely autogauge voltmeter and fuel/air mixture gauge that used to be in a pod on the A-pillar. But I dont like the pods so want to fit them into this bit of dash

How the hell do I get it off and then is there enough room behind if I hole-cut into it and push the dials in???

Thanks

Looks promising - there's a fair bit of room at the back there!

Looks like 4 screws (im guessing he snapped the one on the left (oops))

I'm hoping Luke pops on and tells me there's an easy way to do it LOL

easy way lol they are a nightmare to get off the postion you need to get into is unreal to get to all the screws i was pretty much standing on my head when removing jonnys.

I think almost all the the screws bar 1 is torq 20 theres a tiny 1 i think tirq 10 the polastic heater pipe also needs to be removed to access all the screws.

Canbe done but it's not a pretty job hope this helps dude, if you want to pop up i can remove it for you no problems.

ha ha yeh looks like the 1 he snapped is the odd size torq
