There are at least 2 different styles; one uses the demister vent
holes for the studs, the other has studs located about 2 inches up from the
vents, 2 in the middle and 2 far outside. I'm not sure you can see the stud
locations without removing the dash. My Tiger is not in a position where I
can open the door and look under the dash. Removing those black finishers
will not help you see the stud locations.

Subject: tonneau cover question
Tires are on order, next prob to address is the shrunken soft top. I have a
new Robbins top now and am getting organized to have it installed just
after
the tires. So far so good. I would like to have a tonneau cover as well. I
do
like to use the car for everyday errends and find a tonneau handy when you
leave the car at the grocery store parking lot. Or pop into the pub for a
beer.
Now the problem, the last owner never had one, and never left the cars side
I guess because the soft top did not fit and he never had the hardtop on.
Car
has a new dash and dash pad, etc.....very nice looking.....NO TONNEAU STUDS
ON THE DASH. Now what the heck do I do, take all the dash and dash pad and
stuff apart again?. There appears to be looking from underneath, some kind
of
black finishing cardboard held in with small rivits. Would removing this
stuff
show the the location of the old holes? They have to be some bloody where.
Or I have read of using the back screw holes of the demistor vents as a
location for screw in studs???
Also want to thank Nick Kintner for his time. Before I left Fla with the
car I shot two rolls of film of underneath detail stuff. Nick the shots
came
out great. First time I took the right engine mount off I knew just what
was
where, no worries. Now this lack of studs in the dash looks alot more of a
pain......any ideas anyone....?thanks.....cheers.....phil
