Dash corners

Can anyone tell me which way you bend the end corners of the dash? Fold to the rear or the front of the dash?

Thanks

To the rear. They attach to the top of the inside lower firewall frame. A simple L bracket works well.

I did a reverse bend and tucked it in behind the hinge bracket. Jim

Thanks to both different way of doing it. I have mine folded towards the front and it leaves a pretty good gap between the dash and the body at the corner of the dash as it curves around.

I bet you will never see it when you have the body mounted.

You will probably need to bend the ends a little after you put the body on (to fit the shape of the body) so the 2nd alternative works fine.
