The Dash Pad Mounting Kit is an OE-style restoration hardware set designed for 1966–1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu, and El Camino models. This 22-piece kit restores the factory-correct method used to secure the dash pad to the dashboard structure, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and a finished interior appearance. It is an essential component for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where correct dash fitment and factory-style mounting are required.
From the factory, GM used specific fasteners and retainers to properly locate and secure the dash pad across the upper dashboard. During restoration, these original components are often missing, damaged, or replaced with incorrect substitutes during dash removal, repainting, or interior refurbishment. Using improper mounting hardware can result in poor dash pad alignment, uneven gaps, or an unfinished look. This mounting kit addresses those issues by supplying OE-style components matched to original factory specifications.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, the components in this kit are designed to match original sizes, profiles, and mounting locations used on 1966–1967 A-Body dashboards. Proper mounting hardware is critical for maintaining correct dash pad positioning relative to the windshield, instrument cluster, and surrounding trim. This kit supports accurate restoration of the dashboard assembly without compromising factory appearance.
The 22-piece configuration provides complete coverage for dash pad mounting points on applicable models. It is well-suited for full interior restorations, dash pad replacement projects, or detail-correct refurbishments where original-style mounting components are expected.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this dash pad mounting kit is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable restoration solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct results.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
