    That's the way they are supposed to be, as original. Look at any factory photo of a dash. Install so that the radio sits lower, thicker side of plate up.Name: L1030624_2.JPG Views: 409 Size: 353.0 KB

    I believe he is referring to the cutout not being centered left to right. It will work as is, I believe some of the earlier SWB cars had it off center because of fitment on the dash with the left side being longer. The thicker side does go on top above the cutout as mentioned above. This plate was made to work with both the SWB & LWB.

    The photo I posted above is my original '69 T.....I really don't know if it has any variance side to side, and you can't tell from my photo....I'll go out to my garage and take a look.....film at 11. My '67S has it's original dash, but it has a block off plate covering the holes. So I can't check it.

    Have you tried lining up the cut-out plate to your dash yet?
