Was the soundproofing behind the dash cards in 2 pieces or several odd shapes to go around holes and knobby bits? Have carefully stored the originals 'somewhere safe' and can't remember what the they looked like. I know I have to allow for the oval binnacle to go against the metal firewall. |

Hi Bill, Something like these ? Seem to fit, could not find another home for them. |

Found some more. It appears two pieces go to the LHS , one to the right - plus one each side of the first picture above. These pieces haven't seen the light of day for nearly 40 years.....its time to make a concerted effort to restore this car. |

Thanks Peter. The trim card backing gives me a scale, too. Might be hard to remember but does the felt cover the large air vent hole in front of driver? |

Don't think so, or I have lost a piece. Should only be (from memory) the piece around the binnacle and the far rhs on this side of the car, will check later. |

A search on Ausmini found a comment that there were 4 pieces - 2 each side - in the dash soundproofing, although no images. I think I'll just improvise using pieces as per your photo. Thanks for the reply. |

There's also some images of the dash sound proofing and various other bits installed here: http://mk1-forum.net/viewtopic.php?t=30642 Paul. |

Photos taken whilst replacing the millboard / fibreboard backing - looks to be 2 x pieces (for both L & R sides) + another section immediately to the left (& right) of the nacelle. Hopefully can accompany what Peter has shared above. |

Edit: Just re-checked again. Two each side. Car is upside down on spit atm and I played tetris with these pieces. Somehow I must have obtained an extra. Sorry if any confusion. |

Starting to make sense of it: Hinesy1275 looks like a Mk1 where the felt and panel go behind the binnacle. I think the Mk2 has the felt and panels cut around the binnacle so it seats hard against the firewall. |

As Bill has alluded layout may be a little different for Mk 2 as photos above are of a late Mk 1. |
