Holes in dash

(1/3) > >>

birddog:
I'm trying to do the final welding on the dash. Curious if anyone has pictures of an original dash, especially underneath. The first picture is the possible location of GT fog lights switch. Does that location and size of the hole look correct? I would also like to weld all other holes under the dash. Some are pretty obvious that they were added at a later point. Others I can't tell for sure. Thanks. BTW the car is upside down on a rotisserie.

The holes in the bottom of the dash are pretty typical. Some are factory while most are added by prior owners when they attached gauges, 8 tracks and such to modify they cars.
We'll see if we can post some unaltered examples to help but you can help out providing when and where your car was built

The 1965 and 66 Fog Lamp switch is not under the dash but located on the "slope" about halfway up between the lower bend and the edge of the instrument panel. I'll try to get a picture and dimensions later.
It would be advantageous to you in your questions and other members in answers if you included the year, plant, model and scheduled build date in your posts.
If you do not have a set of Mustang Assembly manuals for your car's year, I urge you to get a set. I've got my right elbow resting on the 65 Mustang Electrical Manual page with the fog lamp wiring.

Thanks. It's an early 1965 Fastback San Jose build. It's a non GT, but I may add the GT fog lights.

Rough location for the fog lamp switch hole is 1 1/4 inches from the left hand edge of the dash and 4 inches up from the bottom edge. The picture is from a 66 GT Fastback built in San Jose on 18 Oct 65. My 65 GT Fastback has a similar location.
You "may" get dimensional instructions from a fog lamp kit.

Oops. Wrong picture the first time. The correct picture is there now.
