Junkyard, i fabbed up a cover plate for the backside of those switches from a scrap of steel 1 inch wide. My 510 didn't have it either. If you're interested in making one.

 

My dash never came with the cover plate that sits behind the wiper/headlight switches.

 

So I fabbed my own out of a piece of pretty scrap I had.

And ended up with this.

I'm pretty happy with the result. I'm planning to just apply it with some double sided moulding tape once im ready for it.

Been driving it last few weekends, had a dripper situation that turned out being the oil pan bolts loose....all of them WTF LOL, installed the oil catch can and a new bigger air filter, boy did that filter make a huge difference, I had a small hesitation between 4k and 4.5k RPMs and now the needle just flies up past 5k with no hesitation and smoothly :thumbup:

Gotta get the cars cranked and pulled out tomorrow, called The Radiator Shop down in New Orleans and the fella said they charge $150. To clean and coat or line the inside of the tank. Also found some new sending units for about $20. So now I have to get her done.
