Center Dash Support

["Mark S. Lepore, MD" <Sirmoog@ix.netcom.com>]

Hello.
As I was asking the listers about their TR6 radio experiences, a few
mentioned that I should try to get a center dash support.  I took mine
off because the DPO sawed off the legs, so it was no longer a support,
but dangled from the upper dash.
My question: how important is this as a support structure?  My car seems
to be just fine without it, but if it is essential, I'm sure I can find
a used one.  Thanks for your advice.
