I am missing whatever holds the instrument dash panel on my 1938 Cadillac 60 special to the dash  Its been so long since I took it apart I cant remember what holds it to the dash . There are 4 long screws on the back side. Do they go into a one piece unit or 4 separate clamps??  appreciate any info on this . l dorf

I don't have a photo but there are two clamps. One either side that press against the back of the dash. A clamp is on each side going from top to bottom, just slightly taller than the panel itself. There are two holes in each clamp for the four stand off studs, two on each side of the panel. The clamps line up directly behind where the two main panel lights push in.

This show the bracket on one side. Should be easy to make if you don't have it.

WOW,  Thanks Joe for the offer. As a last resort I will take you up on that but I should be able to find mine  or make them. Leroy Dorf
