I still recall that out of all of it, the hardest part was reconnecting the bicycle cables on the vent levers. My hands were scratched up for weeks afterwards.
So, I've got the donor dash, the bag, and the bracket that mounts the bag to the dash - the whole thing was shipped in one piece. Not having taken the parts out myself, I'm unclear what I may be missing. The fellow (a member here) wisely included the vent tubing. So I think I have all the pieces north of the bag. Are there any supporting brackets or bars that need to be swapped out, like on your w124? I should mention that the 560 recipient is an '88 (2nd gen w126) so I don't think it'll be as tough as your '85 was.
I should probably contact him about the other parts. Gee, would the forces encountered in shipping "trip" the sensor module, or damage its inertia detector? Then I need the wiring harness I suppose.
Is there a second seat belt sensor I wonder? Man, this is sounding like a real pain in the butt. Anyway, the old dash is pretty cracked and there are a few reasons to go in there already piling up, so I'll have to deal with it somehow. My donor dash has a passenger bag, so unless I find another one as perfect as this, I might as well plunge in. Too bad I can't just pull the bag out and attach my old glovebox, I'd probably just do that at this point.
Anyhow, it'll be spring before I tackle this swap, so just in the research phase now.
Cheers!
