Default Dash Pad Replacement

What do I need to replace the dash pads on my '65? New clips, nuts/washers? Anything else? Thanks!

This is on my 2010 "to do" list as well.

Rivets if you remove the entire dash assembly to replace the pads.

I know you will like the dash pads man. You should get them today are no later than tomorrow. Man with the price increase you did good. All I had to get was them dam crazy pad clips to do the job. Use old everthing else. Please p.m. me when you get the pads.

Besides the clips etc....Patience unless you pull the frame which intails more work, but replacing all the clips..well everything including the clock has to go, so its easier just to pull the frame, re-condition it at the time its off then bolt and rivit into place
