A cautionary note about loosening the dash to improve access (cubby box, oi=
l pressure line, etc.):   DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!   

 

I started to install a new cubby box and as I got deeper into the project, =
I realized a little more maneuvering room behind the dash would help.  I re=
moved the screws and pulled slightly outward on the dash.  Somehow, one of =
the (now free) metal body struts that supports the dash contacted a live po=
sitive lug on one of the dash switches.   I forget if it was the ignition o=
r headlamp switch, but I definitely remember the smoking result.  Before I =
realized what was happening, about a foot of the wiring harness was complet=
ely melted.   Installing the cubby box was one of the small finishing touch=
es needed a couple weeks before the TE/AE United in St. Michaels, MD.  I sp=
ent most of the next weekend installing a whole new wiring harness.   

 

Just a community service reminder that a non-electrical Tiger project can i=
nadvertently become one.   Play it safe and disconnect the battery.   

 

Best of luck out there=E2=80=A6

Unfortunately I don't recall the precise assembly sequence used to re-insta=
ll the cubby in my MkI. But I hope you won't mind me building upon your pos=
t.

 

I previously solicited advice on re-finishing the interior of my car's exis=
ting cubby. A gentleman named Nick, using the screen name "Scattt" offered =
to send me flocking materials left over from his cubby restoration. The pro=
cess was simple and the end result superb. The only drawback is that applyi=
ng flocking material can be a little messy so it is highly recommended that=
 the cubby be removed from the dash for this purpose.

 

I would like to continue Nick's generosity by offering to forward these mat=
erials plus printed instructions, entirely free to anyone whose Tiger cubby=
 is in need of renewal.

 

Terry Packer
