Hi Guys,

I'm trying to remove my dashboard in preperation for a roll cage being fitted (I'm racing my Puma in 2010) but i have got stuck!

I have removed all the screws that hold the dash on and it now moves fairly freely so i don't think there is anyhing left securing it to the car; the problem is getting it over/round the steering column phlanges... Surely you don't need to take the steering column out in order to remove the dashboard???

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do, or has anyone removed their dash before? Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
SJR

 

if its anything like volvos of the same sort of age you WILL have to remove the steering colum to get the dash out!

 

yep you need to take out the steering column, the bracket is in the way and needs to come off, its the same as a fiesta i believe

 

Cheers guys - I've done it now.
Now on to the rest of te car!!!
