Dashboard and fuse cover


Parts content:

Dashboard
Fuse Cover
Screws 2.3x3mm (MP03)

Locate the hole in the dashboard and the matching post of the fuse cover, then insert the post on the fuse cover into the hole in the dashboard, making sure that the recess in the cover is positioned at the bottom.

Press the cover firmly into place then turn the dashboard over and secure the cover with a 2.3x3mm screw.

You will fix the dashboard to the front floor and kick panels in a later issue. For now, test-fit it to familiarise yourself with its installation.

The dashboard will be secured to the floor at its rear, where the two tabs fit over the posts.

Issue complete, carefully store any remaining parts in a labelled bag.

Instruments and dashboard trim


Parts content:

Stickers
Instrument Glasses
Dashboard Frame
Dashboard Trim
Screws 2.3x4mm (MP01)
Shelby Badge
Screws 1.8x4mm (MP05)

The stickers are identified as A-G with the small dials from left to right as A, B & C. The large dials from left to right as D & E. The Shelby GT sticker as F and the remaining sticker as G.

Using the tip of a knife start by lifting sticker A from the sheet and placing it onto the top right circle on the dashboard. Once the sticker is in position, press it flat against the dashboard.

Place sticker B, C, D and E in the same fashion. Sticker B is placed in the middle small circle with sticker C being placed in the right small circle. Sticker D is then placed in the left large circle with sticker E being placed in the right large circle.

Now take the instrument glasses, and note that the two larger ones are thicker than the others. Fit the glasses into the back of the dashboard frame. Then fit the frame into the dashboard. The glasses should be sandwiched between the two parts.

Take sticker G and place it in the centre of the dashboard trim. Then lower the dashboard trim into the recess in the dashboard frame, inserting the three posts into the holes in the dashboard. Tighten a 2.3x4mm screw into each of the three holes in the back of the dashboard to secure the glasses, frame and trim.

Take the Shelby badge and apply sticker F to the badge. Align the pins on the rear of the badge with the holes in the matching recess in the dashboard trim, and push the badge into place. Holding the badge in place tighten a 1.8x4mm screw into each of the two holes to secure it in place.

Issue complete, carefully store any remaining parts in a labelled bag.

Tighten them just enough to hold the two parts together. Now fit another two screws into the holes on the other side of the floor, then fully tighten all four screws.

Position one of the seatbelts with the Cobra badge on the buckle facing upwards. Then take the metal end of the belt and place it into the slot in the rear floor. Pull the metal end through the slot and place the hole in the metal end onto the pin on the rear floor.

Take the other seatbelt, with its Cobra badge facing upwards, insert its metal end into the slot on the other side of the rear floor. As before, press the hole in the metal end onto the pin on the floor to secure it.
