'97 type r dashboard
Hi, is there anything to watch out for when removing the dashboard from a '97 type r?
or is it a straight forward job?
cheers guys

On mine I removed the centre console, glove box, plastic cover above the pedals, sides of the dash & undone the steering column so the steering wheel drops down, removed the speedo clocks etc.
One part that got me was the plastic cover in the middle/top of the dash, just by the screen, remove the 2 plastic pin clips & pull the small cover off to reveal 2 10mm bolts which holds to dash to the bulkhead. I used a flexible type socket screw driver to get to them.
The rest is a few screws & 10mm bolts (cannot remember there excat location but not that difficult to find).
The other tricky bit is the main bulkhead loom which is screwed to the back of the dash in certain places & loops through the plastic air tubes which feed the air vents.
I pulled the dash slightly back & check the location of the remaining screws by looking through the screen from the outside of the car.
I suppose you could id all the electrical connectors/loom with some white insulation tape & permanent marker pen too.
Good luck.
