Anyone know precisiely what screws / stoppers etc. are used to hold on the lower part of an E30 Dash?

The one in my Sport was missing a couple when I bought it and has now contrived to fall completely off. just before I'm due a short trip to Wales. I'd rather not be holding it up all the way there so any help appreciated.

I bought a replacement for the dash from Beemerlad, which is in much better nick but I don't have time to fit it yet.

Cheers.

Which bit exactly are you talking about? The bit above the pedals I asume? If so then there are 3 little plastic screw things, and some brackets at the back on the bulkhead and the steering column. And if it still needs it one big push fit type thing in the centre, but mine has never needed it.

I have a spare plastic clip that goes around the steering column somewhere. it clips around the column just above the clutch pedal area and stops it sagging down at the bottom.

PM me if that's what's needed. Just hope I haven't thrown it by mistake :roll:
