Wow! I wonder if any of the other original cars have this detail. It
sure helps me to install mine. Once again, Michael to the rescue. So,
now I will have to cut off the inside edge at the attachment points and
over the steering wheel and also make the seam right at the top above
the turn signal indicator. The collective knowledge of the list is amazing.

<p dir="ltr">Hi Michael,<br>
There was a black plastic strip between the 2 dash sections. As
far as I am aware it was similar to, if not the same as, that
used between the bumper overriders and the blade.<br>
On my early car I'm confident that the strip was original but
oddly one side ( the inside) had been cut off as can be seen in
the attached pic.<br>
I installed the same material as the overriders and found that
until I cut one side off it was virtually impossible to produce
the sharp curve that is required above the steering column so I
suspect that is why this was done.<br>
