Warning Re Passenger Air Bag
A quick heads up to anyone who bought their '75 or ZT with a replacement dash already fitted: Check that the passenger air bag cover is still attached to the air bag via the webbing.
A chap over on facebook was swapping his dash back to standard and discovered that a previous owner had cut the webbing on the passenger airbag cover, presumably as they didn't have the right Torx bits to undo the screws . With the dash in place, you'd never know there was anything wrong, but if the air bag went off with someone in the passenger seat the results don't bear thinking about. Cliff

A good shout Cliff, anyone cutting the webbing on a road going car should have the airbag set off as they are sat in the passenger seat as a lesson to them.

Absolutely. They wouldn't do it twice, that's for sure.

Anybody who fits one like that without the webbing shouldn’t be near a car let alone working on one, words can’t describe dangerous that is, I see quite a few 75’s and ZT’s that the passenger airbag has deployed in my business.

I saw the post you are on about and know the owner personally. I was shocked when he sent me the photos.

cutting the webbing on a scrap car when it is in a breakers yard is fine if you don't have the tool on you but someone did it on a car that was being used on the road. The previous owner then tiger sealed the cover back on
