A question for the experts here(or anyone who knows the answer).. how do these pieces attach to the steering column/ clamshell? Do they just slide in ? I can’t seem to make them stay. 70 914/6.

Sorry I can't help with the "how". But I need a set of those. Are yours factory or did you find them reproduced? And if repro, where? Thanks for any help.

They should have a slot at the base that slides into the dash face

Thanks, Perry. Was able to figure it out from your response. the vinyl had covered up the metal prongs that I needed to use to secure the trim.

I bought some very rough 3d printed ones from auto Atlanta. I do think a good 3d print of these would sell well

Perry is right.
Just to clarify, the two plastic pieces have grooves on the back that slide onto
the 914 6 specific dash face tins.
