    I am installing a 1972 dash into my 1970 GS. The 72 dash only has two threaded studs,with nut,in the center. The rest are the push-in studs. To adapt this correctly to my 70,I think I need the correct female ends for the metal part of the dash,for the studs to push into. Anyone have these?

    I should make a small correction,so I don’t mislead or confuse anyone. On each end of a 1970,there are the wavy metal clips. The 72 dash has the barbed studs in the same location. I just need to make sure I have the correct fastener for the other end,which is in the metal part of the dash.

    Brian,I have the one in the picture,and I also have the kind that's like a U,the points snap in into the metal,most likely those are the ones you want.Bruno.

    Whatever I need to put a 72 dash into a 70. When I parted the 72,I left those clips in the dash section,when I sold the cowl. Thanks.

    Only the "stud style" plugs require the retainers.

    The 72 pad that I am using has the hour-glass shaped studs.

    I got them in the mail yesterday. I think I need what Todd pictured,but I will put these to use too. Let me know what I owe you. I need the ones that these studs press into.

    The "stud" you have pictured does utilize the retainers that I sell.

    The other style does not require any type of retainer.....it simply pushes into the dash framework.

    Well,Brian,had you said anything about them,I would have send you those, because I have those also.Don't worry about paying,when you have something that I need,I'll ask you for it,if it is of equal value.By the way,if you are getting them from Todd,that's fine,otherwise let me know and I'll mail you 2 of the other kind.Bruno.Bruno.
