Minster68 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi All, Forgive me for a Newbie question, but I am currently rebuilding a series 3 88" and need to re-spray the bulkhead after some major surgery to footwell and door pillars. I would like to remove the lower part of the dashboard, but cant see how it is fixed, i have removed the lower screws but don't want to just pull it apart incase damage and fixings. Can anybody help with advice or photo's etc of how it is all held together. Thanks Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwy1964 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Just had to strip my lower dash off for the same reason.... The lower dash also has the heater (loose description) plenum and flaps in it and comes off complete. On mine I had to take the plastic tray out on top of the dash, held in with plastic pins which pull out with long nose pliers. You will then see 8-10 bolts which hold the lower dash/plenum assy to the bulkhead... Remove these and off it should come... I have seen problems with the bolt removal as the captive nuts in the bulkhead are Rivnuts and spin easily if the bolts are siezed... At this point you are in need of 125mm high speed rotary spanner... Hope this helps Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minster68 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks Mark, I have a Haynes Book for the Land Rover series IIA & III but it doesn't go into detail on series III dashboard. It only really covers series IIa. I will give that a go tomorrow and see how i go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minster68 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Got the lower dashboard off today( Thanks Mark, your instructions were great ). I also decided to remove the bulkhead as it is going to be easier to spray off the Landy.. Bulkhead is bolted to a frame and cleaned ready for spraying.
