[Supras] MkIII dash shrinkage?

[Chris Smyczek]

Eight hours to remove and replace a dash? Sounds like a dealer estimate. I
have had my dash in and out a dozen times in the last few months to fit and
weld a roll cage which now goes through the dash, over and across. I can now
go from an operational car to disassembled, (dash out) back to drivable in
45 minutes. Get an electric #2phil screwdriver, 10mm, 17mm, 19mm sockets.
Center and remove steering wheel, drop the steering column, remove cluster,
shift knob, computers and disconnect harnesses on the left lower near
petals, behind cluster, above computers, behind center council(heater
controls) There are some 10mm nuts securing the dash, not too hard to find.
I bet you can have it out within an hour. Chris

Joe and list:

    Thanks for the info.  There are lot of steps in the service manual, but
a total of 8 hours to exchange the dash between the two cars sounds
reasonable.  Fortunately, both are gray.  If anyone has a gray dash in good
condtion please let me know.  Thanks.

  I took a dash out about six months ago. It wasn't to bad a job (about two
hours). My project car's dash was/is cracked , about an inch wide, in the
middle from HOT Az sun over many years. The donor car dash was in excellent
shape. Garaged most of the time I'm guessing!
