I found one (or three)

Success! The unobtanium dash is now obtanium. Don't ask what I paid. Shipping was as much as the parts.
In a strangely smart way the Rover has a 3 piece dash. The top piece is just for decor/ holding the defroster vents, theres a middle steel piece that holds up the top piece and contains the vent controls under the front window, and the bottom piece that is just a big air deflector for the "climate control" fan. It has holes in the top that the tubes go to the defrost vents, or you flip the control to blow lukewarm air on you ankles. Thats it.

These will go on temporarily because...Remember the burnt brake wire from several posts ago?... well theres more wiring to do, a windshield wiper system to bolt on first, along with the washer tubes, the defroster cables, and wiring to run. As Barney says "the fun- the fun"




The aluminum monster comes off:










The bottom piece goes on temporarily:










The top piece goes on just for grins:
















Aaaand wait. Somethings wrong.
