Well, the longer bolts arrived and the windscreen was finally fixed in place - including the dashboard support frame. The last thing to do with the screen is to remove it - leaving the stanchions - seal around the stanchions - fit the escutcheons and refit the screen with the centre stay and bracket.
Having finally fitted the screen stanchions, column support bar and dash support bar I thought it was time to finally fit the steering column:
With everything in place for the dash, I then fitted it to allow the ally underpanels to be trial fitted:

The column support frame needs to be set slightly lower than the bottom of the dash so when it is pulled up and over the bottom lip of the dash it pulls down on the dash. The ally panels are then wedged in between the bar and the bottom lip of the dash - the result is pretty secure and not going anywhere:
The centre panel simply bolts through the lugs on the two support bars. The outer ally panels were marked up and the column support bar was drilled and three M4 rivnuts were installed for each panel to secure them at the rear.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get the screen completed?
