‘40 160 DASH PLASTIC: I’m going to replace 3 very warped pieces of original dash plastic (from a sedan). My center ash tray does not snap into position as I remember it did. I have Prevegen but forgot where I put the bottle. A cross piece of some kind is missing. There are two screw holes in the dash metal, but I don’t know what the missing piece looks like.
If your dash has a similar set-up, I could sure use a picture of the hole with the ash tray removed. Maybe the piece is easy to make.
I use a blinking LED as my security system indicator and placed it behind the 110 radio button hole I don’t use. The battery box and switch for it go in the ashtray.http://www.mktx.com/packard/IMG_0892.MOV
