I have listed my MGTD again — and I will not have any friends bidding — I did set a reserve that was lower than I hoped it would sell for — but who knows.   If anyone is interested — please come by and see it.

I use seat belts to hold me into position so I can control the car ( just as I did in aircraft) It does not likely help much in a teeth, hair and eye balls crash.

I remembered seeing something like that in one of the boxes — so I went digging.  I found them.   I was thinking that the spacer would be round and more plyable. 
Thanks also for the quick reply.

The hole on the right side on my dashboard is only about 2 inches by 4  1/2 inches — If it is for a glove box — they would have to be small.  I can enlarge the hole — but wondered what other choses there are.  Is there a specific cover that goes over the rectangular hole?
