Hey everyone,
I searched around and couldnt find an answer to my question so here goes. The dash on my Formula has some kind of bad looking burn mark on it. So this weekend I purchased a dash pouch to install to cover up the burn mark (has all tabs on the back). Only problem is my car did not originally come with a pouch and there is no mounting holes or anything. How should I mount it and how were the pouches originally mounted?

 

I don't think any cars came with pouches, but then I seem to always be wrong when it comes to firebird specific things, rofl. That being said, I would have to see the pouch, but your best bet is to probably remove the dash and cut out a hole where you want this pouch to be and go from there, if it has mounting tabs on it I would only cut it to the size of the actual pouch, and then just remove that top layer for the tabs, and fiberglass it in, just make sure wherever you want to put it has sufficient space underneath the dash, there is a lot of empty space under there, but not all of it is empty.

 

No cutting, but possibly a few small holes to drill for some push type studs. It's surface mount if it's the one I'm thinking of. I saw one on the classified board not long ago.

hmm if its something like that, remove the stubs imo, and put a velcro strip on that and the dash mebe, or otherwise glue or resin them together, though personally I would rather not have it so permanently attached.

 

Yea I was thinking of trying some kind of velcro or someting..I have seen tons of firebirds/trans ams with these installed on the dash and was just wondering how they were orginally installed?

 

4 small holes in the dash, the pins on the back of the map pocket are ribbed so they bite in when they are pushed in and wala

 

I would say there are 6 small holes to be drilled according to:
