S5 Dash

I put the S5 black interior in my car and it's friggin awesome. I did alot of custom work to get some after market seats in on the stock brackets. Also the bin fiberglass needed to be trimmed.

Bottom line: the dash is in and it's sorta flimsy... I thought i read something about there being an S5 Dash support. Well I didn't get one... it's being held on by the heater core and that's it. so it moves alot. It doesn't bother me to much cause i ripped out a WHOLE crapload of stuff... ac core, blower. etc. But I just wanted to know if there is a brace or something underneath the s5 dash that makes it a little stronger... post pics if you can find them...


Thanks!!

No, my seats were narrower so I welded tabs to the sides of the brackets and then drilled holes through that to line them up.

I havn't done my passenger seat yet but i was guessing it would have to be on a slant. I'm running the one seater right now

The left side of the drivers seat is bolted into the stock holes and the right side has about 3 1/4 inch tabs welded on with holes in the tabs for the bolts. It took a hammer and some pounding to get them in place.
