This is a reply I received in Fordbarn from Tom Wesenburg Feb 11 this year in regards to how an original dash panel can be identified.

I'm holding an original and if I run a thin steel tape measure on the outside around the curve from the center of one bottom hole to the other center its 3 3/4". If I use my dial caliper and measure on the inside of the panel from the outside edge of one hole to the outside edge of the other bottom hole I get 3.400".

Tom , please excuse this late thank you note, I received a very platable original from a long time Barner, and it measured just as you said , many thanks to you Tom.
