) #8 X 5/8 FLAT HEAD SCREWS

Modular  Interior  Packages  are  machined  from  aircraft aluminum  and  designed  for easy  installation 

by any DIYer with simple hand  tools. These inserts don't "stick-on" as  do other aftermarket inserts 

made , out of thin veneer aluminum,  but are  machined  for an  exact fit.  Modular Interior Packages are 

designed  for installation WITHOUT dismantling or reaching behind your dash or instrument panel. 

STEP 1

  Begin the Instrument 

Panel Installation  by removing 

the  (2) top  "inside" screws 

(these are above and  to the 

left of the speedometer and 

right of the fuel gauge panel) 

with the phillips screwdriver.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The original 

instrument panel doesn't get 

removed, just the two top 

screws. 

STEP 2

  Place the Instrument 

Panel in place, aligning the 

countersink holes in the new 

machined aluminum insert 

over the holes of the screws 

just removed in Step 1. Take 

the Flat head screws provided 

in the hardware kit and install 

them through the two holes in 

the existing instrument panel.  

STEP 3

  Carefully check the 

alignment of the aluminum 

Instrument  Panel to make sure 

it is straight  and the gauge 

holes fit properly. Using the 

electric drill and 1/8" drill bit, 

drill the six other holes 

through the countersink holes 

in the insert. Take the six Flat 

head screws and install them 

in these holes. Your Instrument 

Panel is now installed. 

INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTALLATION:

DASH INSERT INSTALLATION:

STEP 1

  Begin  the installation 

of the Dash Insert by removing 

all existing emblems 

("Silverado" etc.) with the putty 

knife and hammer off easily 

without using the hammer). 

MAKE SURE: When removing 

the "Silverado" dash emblems 

etc you don't slip and scratch 

the finish on the vehicles dash. 

If possible, put some tape just 

below the emblem for 

protection. After emblem 

removal, remove all tape. 

STEP 2  

Remove the ''wrap-

around"  ends of  the plastic 

trim with  the  vice grips. 

This

 

will  insure  that your 

new Dash Insert  will fit flush 

for a perfect fit. 

STEP 3

  Take the aluminum 

Dash Insert and put it in 

place.  Align it for a good  fit, 

and tape it  into  position, so it 

wont move while drilling the 

installation holes. 

PLEASE NOTE: The holes in 

the dash insert WILL NOT 

interfere with any 

components behind the 

dash. Take your electric drill 

and 1/8" drill bit and drill all 

four holes.
