Title: Mystery holes in FC dash - can anyone tell me what belongs here?? Post by: Mutley on August 31, 2009, 01:59:21 PM Hi all
Just wondering if anyone knows what used to belong on my FC's dash. There are 3 diagonally drilled holes just above the glove box and to the left side of the speaker grill. Central hole is slightly larger then the other two. Looks like it's for a badge / signage but I'm not sure. Any ideas or if your FC has something there, can you please let me know (post a pic if you can!!) cheers Mutley Title: Re: Mystery holes in FC dash - can anyone tell me what belongs here??

Yeah could be a cooling fan..... The hole pattern from your pic is different to what's on my dash (mine are diagonal all in a row - not triangle formation as in your diagram) I never thought of a fan ... I thought it might be a badge (?????) Anyway, any other ideas or posts would be appreciated!! cheers Mutley Title: Re: Mystery holes in FC dash - can anyone tell me what belongs here?? Post by: RET on August 31, 2009, 05:49:15 PM I'm finding it difficult to picture what you mean - how big are the holes, how far apart? Are they in the charcoal dash-top or the body-coloured front-face of the dash?
If you could post a pic of the dash it might help. cheers RET Title: Re: Mystery holes in FC dash - can anyone tell me what belongs here?? Post by: mcl1959 on August 31, 2009, 08:55:33 PM Could have been a tacho as well, these were common in the 70's.
I don't think it would have been a badge Ken Title: Re: Mystery holes in FC dash - can anyone tell me what belongs here??
