Hello
could anyone help me i need to remove the dash from my 1992 110 defender to weld repair bulkhead has any one got any pointers or advice and how long ruffly as she is my daily driver
thanks in advance
:confused::eek:
 
No, just keep the screws identiified where they came from - there's quite a variety of sizes/lengths, esp round the instrument cluster/heater controls..... and there's one hidden under the LR oval on the passenger grab handle istr...... A

Thanks will bear that in mind its going to be a bit daunting as wiring scares me :eek:
and then its how much welding will there be behind there:)
 
Don't find it daunting lol its simple. Once you disconnect the instrument binnacle which is literally just three clips that's the wiring pretty much over with. The rest is screws and bolts

ok thanks that's a relief thought there might be allot more than that.
is there anything else i should do whilst the dash is out?
Thinking of spraying the area with a coat of stone-chip is that a good idea?and fitting insulation/sound proofing?:)
 
Try and make the bottom part air tight as that's where your heater flows into, I was going to fully duct mine next time I've got it out. No point in using stone chip on the inside, just make sure its rust free and give it a coat of red oxide. You might find it a bit tight for soundproofing under where the dash sits but you could always cover that area in flashing tape, this helps a bit.

lol ok then when you have removed the wing,dash wireing loom various ,bits on the footwell and then you get the door hinge off you can cut the rusty a pillar out ,dig out all the filler,remove the windscreen frame so you can replace the seal then replace the side of the baulk head thats foobar...

so lets see how long it takes you then shall we...:D:D:D

have fun...

oh yes get some new hinge screws and back plates....:D:D
