131 Series 2 Dash removal

« on: May 20, 2008, 08:36:08 PM »

I am removing the dash from my 131 Brava. It is cracked and I am going to get it restored by a place out here that does dashes (http://www.justdashes.com/). What kind of a job is that? By the looks of it, I think I have my work cut out for me. I have a 131 Brava Fiat work manual, should that help? Has any one done this?

Yes I have taken a number of dashes out. Fairly straightforward. There are two nuts (one each side) accessible from the engine bay behind the bulkhead plastic covers. Instruments and centre consul need to come out, then there are screws and nuts underneath to remove. Disconnect the heater ducts behind the dash and don't forget to remove the heater controls. There are a few wires to disconnect and unclip from behind the dash.

Hope this helps.

WOW! That seems very simple. I had the dash of my Strada out and figured that the 131 was going to be terrible considering the size difference. That you for your help!
