1st part of the dashboard is ready. When the bezel is dry, we can put the "glass" and the knobs in place, and it will look like new!

Custom made bracket for the new choke cable. Draw, cut, fit

Nice bracket, ready for paint and when it is dry, time to bolt it under the dashboard and hook on the manual choke.
