i have pictures but their still on my phone will probably update later. ye if you get the cutting right it will clear everything easy the thing you have to watch out for is what kind of shape you want at the end of it really. i wanted it all to fit flush and tight but then had problems fitting the heater cable and the choke then their was troiuble seing the clocks so had to put them at an angle and to be honest rushed it a bit towards the end becuse i wanted it ready for bingley


I suppose any custom install is going to have its difficulties. Did you take the dash out of the KA yourself? My local scrappy has one so I will be heading down there at the weekend, problem is I have to take it out of the KA myself, hopefully it’s not too difficult.


their is a metal skeleton the width of the car that attaches at either side with two bolts if i remeber rightly but what ever you do be careful with both the air bags they can cause you some damage if they go off mate! you might want to take the hole facia part off first, you take the two screws out from under the top of the facia by the clocks then where the radio sits you take them two out at the bottom to release the air con controlls then theirs one to the left which holds the larger part on. hope this helps
