Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions regarding the dash bracket.
Special thanks to Steven Newell, who measured his for me.
Apparently fitting the filler part is a common problem and many suggested
jacking up the dashboard. Ours is 3/8" too tall. We tried that and stopped
before we damaged anything. I've learned that there are two horsecollars
and two brackets used on the TR4's, but I have dimensions for only one, so
I'm still not sure where we are. We are solving this problem by cutting out
a strip and rewelding.
And, for you guys who were puzzled by my reference to "horsecollar", that
is a highly technical term that I shouldn't have expected non-Midwesterners
to understand. It is in the same category as "feedbag" and "road apples".
Sorry for the technical jargon :-)
