Then the feed hoses from the long tubes. A bit tricky to feed them through the new rubber grommets.

Pretty easy to put together, and push the hose onto the fittings. I made sure the cross piece slopes down to the T.

But I failed to get the hose clamp rings on properly. The hose OD might be too big.

I also tried my plan for this stuff: black vinyl welting, with a 1/4 inch round edge.

I was not happy with the fit between the new dash top and the vinyl. It looks worse here since I have the dash top attachment bolts loosened.

Here's my idea: use the welting between the dash top and the padded vinyl.

To make the end of the welting dive into the corner, I split about an inch and cut the internal cord.

That makes for a flattened end. I also notched the segments that will bend around the cowl corners.

With the dash top loose, I was able to sneak the welting flap into the gap.

Where I could reach, I added a bit of all-purpose glue.

I then straightened the welting and tightened the dash top bolts. I like it.

The sides of the cowl look much better.

One last bit of exploration today. I will install a washer pump, and somehow live without the OE clever method of using the spare tire as a pressure source.

One possible location: under the washer reservoir.
