Title: Any Ex AC employees out there?
Post by: Max Allan on November 28, 2008, 23:28:22

Any ex AC employees out there who know the location of the various screws holding the dashboard in place?
   
   If I’m to ever get round to swapping from auto to manual tranny I’ve got to either raise the complete dash assembly to get at the selector mechanism or preferably remove just the centre section above the gearbox. I know the dash has two bolts either side behind the end panels, but there must be others. To date even removing the centre radio/switch panel has beaten me! (Early car with wood veneer insert  – is it glued in?)
   
   Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

Try Neil Fisher at Redline, he had a lot to do with the Brooklands Ace

Hi Bob
   
   I've spoken with Neil in the past....
   
   I was hoping an ex-employee might look on the forum ocassionally who could say exactly where the respective fixings were. A lot easier to remove things without damage when you know how they're held in !!

Brian Clarke did (or had done) the conversion to manual from automatic - I don't have his contact details but no doubt someone out there does?
