Title: Access to center dashwood nut
Post by: Charles 230SL on March 20, 2017, 00:40:49

one of the blue plastic nuts securing the left dashwood has worked loose and the wood is warping upwards (see pic).
I'd sure hate to dissasemble the lower panel, tach, etc,, just to tighten the nut. Is it possible to access this particular nut by removing the speaker grille and speaker? note that the nut is the one farthest to the right.
 thanks, Charles

Yes, you can access it by removing the speaker grille and speaker. Its a bit of a contortion act so use a good mirror to see what your doing.
