UPDATE
I finally got the Dash Brackets finished and after all my planned bulkhead hole had been drilled, I put the Dash back in. Here's a couple of pics of the finished brackets:
All lined up an resin applied.

The dash dropped into place with no problems and should be a bit more resilient.
I've got my annual road worthy inspection coming up at the end of the month and the EFI won't be ready (waiting on parts) so I'll put the Carb back on but run the MegaSquirt ECU for ignition only as all the wiring is just about finished.
