Default dash harness replacement 65

i have a couple issues with replacing the dash harness so far.

- one of the fuse panel screw location is stripped. I can think of a few ways to hold it in place, wondering what others have done to make it look correct?


- I'm still unhappy at how the harness rubs on the birdgage (lip) as it passes between the brace and birdcage. It can't be right, I"ll try to get a picture of the routing.

To fix the "threads" get the smallest zip tie that will fit and put it in the hole and then put the screw in...it should tighten up...you might have to trial and error it a few times...

The harness should have some "clips" built into the harness that attach to the frame to prevent any rubbing...
