68 A-body Dash Pad
I recently bought a new 68 dash pad from Classic Industries. Nice looking piece! I did notice however, that the pad is missing two small holes (one at either end) for screws that went through the backside of the dash on the one I took out. I'm wondering if someone had modified my old dash pad and used a couple screws to suck the turned down ends into the frame a little more.
My old pad had 5 studs going through the front face of the dash frame along with a screw hole in each end. The holes look factory as do the two holes in the old pad.
I'm wondering if the new pad didn't get these holes by mistake and I should just drill them out myself.
For those whom have purchase a new 68 pad, do you recall if it had these two small screw holes in addition to the 5 mounting studs?
Here's a picture with arrows pointing to where the holes are I'm talking about:
