    Finishing off putting my dash back together after taking out the heater box and putting a new heater core in and I'm in the process of putting everything back where it goes, PITA :)
    Anyway there's this little black box with an electrical connector that goes to it, and a massive bracket that attaches to it, any idea where the bracket screws into for these that have pulled the dash before? I can't find it and it's driving me nuts!!

    Here's a pic of the item anyway.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    haha i rememebr when i did that bout 6 months ago, but instead of having a mistery bracket i had a few screws and bolts.
    a particular bolt has a funny little rin on the shaft below the head. so its rather special but i have no clue where it goes,if any one knows tell me please, and all these little "spare" bolts live in my glove box still. gets on my nerves still

    That is one of the bolts that holds the dash in place up near the windscreen under the vents.

    The shoulder stops the plastic in the dash from getting crushed and deformed.

    Isn't it also the "You've left your headlights on" chime? That can be pretty useful. You can easily disable the speed chime bit with a pair of side cutters.
