Afternoon campers.
Today I decided to refit the upper dash on my S3, just to make sure everything lines up before recovering with new vinyl.
First job, fit the fly mesh to the bulkhead.
Only it doesn't fit
This is how it looked in the old bulkhead
As you can see, the inside of the bulkhead is recessed for the mesh.
And this is the new shielder bulkhead, so far, every thing else fitted within a ¹⁶th of an inch at worst.
I've checked the order and delivery note and It says it is the correct one, ie for a 1975 lwb series 3.
But as you can see, the inside of the bulkhead is flat!!
Any thoughts?
I was just going to flatten out the fixing tabs and fit it.
Please don't tell me I need a different bulkhead
