Installed the dash. Looks like it may stay in and not need another bench run, fingers crossed as it a bit of a tight fit, would be easy without the knee bumper.
Totally forgot to install the pull handle for the halon system so had to hunch back it with some pliers to tighten it. Will get one more hit with the pliers and some thread interference work with a center punch to make sure the nut can't come off without 'Extreme Duress'.
Also added steering supports and bracket while under the dash, this holds up the back of the Sweet steering column, and made the entire assembly much more rigid, backers were added behind it as well for less messing with individual nuts, and helps a bit with the hunchback effect trying to get the nuts tightened. The column clamp for the Sweet column is not shown, but it held by the bottom bolt.
Have to make a small bracket for the foam trim on the bottom as the rubber isolators move it out about 0.5" where it won't reach. Should be easy, but likely a pain as they are in an odd space. I guess it's all relative as far as easy can be on a Tiger.
Next on to harness work to tie it all down and finish off the rear harness for stuff in the trunk.
