55-56 Senior Dash Screen Question (Mystery holes)

Posted by Kevin AZ On 2009/2/1 16:40:56

All,

Last week the 400 has returned to the house fully painted! Finally! Reassembly now begins in earnest; and hopefully without going too broke $$$ in the process!

But I have a question. Today, the dash screen was placed back onto the dash, followed up by the instrument (ring)bezels & the thin stainless trim pieces that encirle the entire gold colored screen itself. The screen I put back into the 400 came from my parts 55 Patrician because it was a much nicer piece, but now I know that they are different because I found new holes that the old screen didn't have! Well much can be said about it being in the details, and in this case it is true, but my new screen has unknown grouping of (2) factory looking holes immediately between the clock and the right radio contol knob.

My parts Patrician wasn't of much help when I went back and looked at her dash, so I'm wondering if any of you all have an additional factory bezel in that area on any of you car? All my other bezels are accounted for so I'm wondering for what these holes were designed?

Thanks
