Please look at the photo.

I don't recall a support that attaches to the dash on any of the 3, but maybe something in here might help - the heaters all mount to the firewall with long bolts and standoffs, maybe the 'support' you have is for a radio?

I see the bracket on the very left of one of your photos but can not see how it is attached.

Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 59 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 59 | I can remember removing the bolt and I have it in my plastic bag, but the holes don't line up.
Larry | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | maybe if you put the bracket above the dash lip, which may pull that plenum back a bit, it would line up?
Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 59 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 59 | The bracket has a offset bend so it can not come forward enough to reach the hole.
It would work if I put some flat washers under the bracket as the lip on the bottom of the dash is much larger.
