Working on an '81 Bertone to replace the cracked dash and the leaking heater core.
Let's do the dash first. Found CleanFlameTrap's dash removal thread: http://cleanflametrap.com/dash.html Thank you Art!
That solves most of the original dash removal issues but leaves the installation of the Coverlay cap to do. Yes, it came with instructions and adhesive but how about some real life experiences in getting this done?
Not having 3-400 pounds of lead shot to act as weights to hold the cap to the dash until the provided glue sets I am wondering how to do this effectively. Thought about cleaning with auto paint cleaner and sanding the old dash to make it smooth, clean and agreeable to adhesives. No telling what wonderful silicone products the previous owner(s) put on the dash in its previous lives. Thought about double backed tape to stick everything together rather than sand bags or lead shot.
Any suggestions appreciate.
