Gents,
I'm rebuilding my 1950 EL. It was a bucket bike, but most original parts are there. I found 2 pieces of rubber trim in one of the boxes and I assume, these are the rubber trims for the dash cover. All repop rubber trim parts are one piece and in the Palmer are several pictures showing the rubber as one piece and wrapped around the cover completly. What is correct?
Here is a picture of my trim parts
Thanks
Jens

Re: Dash Cover Rubber Trim
I’m certainly no expert but I think the one piece is correct. Your picture looks more like it would be for a later shovel dash.

Re: Dash Cover Rubber Trim
The one piece is correct 1947 to 1967, pn 71294-47, the two piece is for the cast dash 1968 and newer....

Re: Dash Cover Rubber Trim
Thanks guys!!
There was a 1950 and a 1968 speedo in the box, now it make sense.

Re: Dash Cover Rubber Trim
The trim for the '47 up dash is also a much smaller profile than the E start dash type.
