Under-dash panels—What am I missing?

[schuetz1619]

My car is a '72 euro tii. It came with the pictured four under-dash panels, which I've never mounted. 

 

I've looked at panels offered for sale here, and mine appear to be different. The parts-book illustrations are of no real help.

 

Did the euro cars come with different panels than the US variety?

 

Does anyone know what I'm missing (part number if possible)?

 

Thank you.

To me it looks like you have 2 lh panels, #1

and one short of rh panel, #6

+1 @tzei.

Yes, you have two of the Left panels.

Here's a pic of the installed panels.

It appears you're missing the one that fills in the space between the back of the glovebox and the firewall.  Looks similar to the L-shaped one in your picture, but has (or should have, it may have rotted away) a lip of flexible foam that fills the gap between the back of the glovebox and the panel itself.  You're also missing the panel that goes to the far right (passenger) side between the glovebox and the cowl panel.  It's the mate to the one you have two of, just for the other side.

 

Someone on the FAQ is bound to have some spares.  Truth be told, I don't leave the ones on the driver's side (far left piece and under the steering column) so I don't have to mess with 'em when delving into the instrument cluster or the wiring up there....

Hah! Same here, Mike..

I have replaced all my panels with Koogelwerks’s ABS plastic set.  They fit right, are easier to get on and off without damaging them, and you can get a version with nice Rockford Fosgate two-ways that, combined with an under-back seat subwoofer and lots of sound insulation, give me about all the sound I can use in an 02.

 

Though I gotta say, your panels look worth saving….

Thank you so much for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it appears they don't sell them any more.

Hello.  I have similar issue with my 72 tii.  Rebuilding heater box and mixed take-off panels in with my spare stuff.  Now confused.  I have two very similar L shaped panels.  I believe the one with cut-outs goes above the center console and one side overlaps with the steering column panel.  Where does the solid panel go?

 

Thanks!!

[schuetz1619]

The solid panels are center and right. Your pictures, show, I believe, two versions of the same panel. Note the screw perforations. I don't know what the difference in application would be, though.

 

Someone else with more knowledge than I have might be able to chime in. Also, look back to the beginning of the thread.

Maybe console vs no console?

 

[John76]

The slotted panel goes behind the console.

The solid panel goes under the glove box.

My 69 2002 has the solid type of board that fastens under the dash to cover the heater box.  My problem currently, is there isn’t a way to secure the shorty console to the metal tab on the right side, so I’m going to make up a bracket.
