TR4/4A TR4A Switch Plinth Replacement

[RJS]

Hi
So, while the gearbox and the H dash support are out, I thought it a good opportunity to replace the shabby switch plinth with the new one from TRF which has been sitting in my basement for the last 15 years. Any ideas what secures the switch plinth in the car and how to remove it?

There are the two tiny Phillips head screws. And then I imagine the four switch bezels. Do I need to loosen the dash to release the upper lip of the plinth? Anything further? The new switch plinth has no obvious points of attachment on it.

Thanks

Bob

After some reading on the internet and poking around under the dash shows there is a bracket on the RH side of the plinth which bolts to the dash. I think unbolting that with the other items in my post immediately above will allow the plinth to be carefully extracted.

Interestingly, the new one is lacking that bracket. See photo. Not sure how much that really matters.
