Just some small details I took care of while she was working on her stuff. Note the spring steel retainer used by the factory to hold the brake/clutch assembly to the dash carrier during installation. I commonly see these and this one was restored and replaced.

Firewall insulation pad was put in place before mounting the heater box and pedal assembly. This is an expensive pad but more closely resembles the factory version rather than using the flat piece of crap that most people sell.

This small red oxide clip helps hold the base of the windshield chrome. These are missing most of the time but ours were still in place so they were restored and replaced.

The monitors come with slotted screws but ours was held on with oval headed phillips screws so that is what went back on. Right or wrong that is what was on there. The harness hook and original and very hard to find bolt was restored and replaced mounted next to the monitor.

I replaced the yellow "215" on the cowl top exactly as I found it during the clean up. I am not sure what this number relates to but have found numbers like this on the 70 cowls as well (though on the other side) and those number also had nothing to do with any numbers on the build sheet or build sequence. Most likely an inspector number.
