I don't have that piece on my Tiger and I don't recall ever having =
that
piece. I also don't have the upholstery piece either. Hmmmm!!
=20
I see it listed in the Alpine Parts List - Section YX - part # 181 Grab
handle.
=20
Here are my thoughts about how to go about installing these parts but I
don't have the parts in front of me so use best judgment.
=20
I would first determine how far all the nails go into the instrument =
panel.
=20
Find a piece of scrap wood to practice on
=20
Drill very small holes to depth or maybe just starter holes in the scrap
wood using the pieces as a guide for location
Attach grab handle then remove from scrap wood to see if the wood split
Drill size may need to be changed for best results.
Practice on the scrap wood until you like the results - then work the
instrument panel.

Subject: [Tigers] Wooden dashboard question
Hey, guys:
=20
I've got a new Prestige Autowood dashboard for my Tiger that I hopefully
will be installing soon, but I've got a question. As you all know, the
original dashes had a small area of the lower rail in front of the cubby =
box
that was upholstered and intended to be used as a grab handle. I have =
an
original dashboard that I have carefully removed that upholstery from, =
and
I've also been very careful to remove the rounded piece of wood that was
tacked onto the back of the dash which gave the grab area a nice contour =
to
fit the hand better. When I removed all of this from the original dash, =
I
found that the wooden piece was tacked on with two small nails, while =
the
upholstery was glued into place and tacked down on the end with a total =
of
five small nails in the bottom of the dash rail. The last thing in the
world that I want to do is to screw up my new dash trying to transfer =
this
stuff over to it, so if there is anyone who has done this out there, I =
would
be most interested in reading how they did it. Maybe they would also =
have
some advice about how to avoid screwing things up, too. =20
=20
The bottom line here is that I can turn wrenches as well as the next =
guy,
but woodwork is most definitely NOT my forte. Can anyone either give me
some pointers or at least help boost my confidence???
=20
Thanks, guys,
Andy Walker
Edmond, OK
