You have more problems than holes in the dash. Son your steering wheel is on the wrong side. Ha
Have fun Max E

Well, yours (right hand drive) looks to be different than ours (left hand drive) since your starter button and ignition key are on the same side. From the picture, yours-from right to left-would go starter button, ignition key, wiper or lights or choke, etc. Mine, from left to right goes: starter button, wiper, lights, (column), choke, ignition key, cigar lighter (as stated above). I believe this to be the correct placement. You're kind of forced to put the starter button and ignition in the correct spots since their holes in the dash are specific to the buttons/bezels.
