Couple more between the seats, these two are installed in tapped holes in the chassis tube beneath:
Fitting a side/door panel
Turned out I made the side panels too short - the original size would have put the fixing stud on the wrong side of the dash panel and visible from inside the car. Time spent today re-working the offside one to extend the front edge 2" - it fits fine now; just waiting on a couple more lift the dot bases to hold the bottom edge in place:
Getting there slowly.
