You may have convinced me to leave well enough alone, but you've done it several times, so either you love doing this or you did it on different cars.
If I want to go with the metal bar fix, where can they be purchased?
My car is modified so another modification does not matter. I like the 74 dash so much better than the 72. If I was to remove the dash, why not replace it with a 74. Do you know where I might be able to get my hands on one?
