It is a small part but hopefully, someone can direct me to a source!
In the middle of my dash, just under the windscreen is a large screwhead. now, it should be covered by what looks like half a black ball, but mine has gone AWOL. Does anyone have one or know a source?
Many thanks

mine was missing so I used a black plastic cover that fits over some seat belt top mount bolts on the B post area.

Any pics?
I can't imagine to what you refer?
Sure I haven't got anything like that on mine

I've always noted the bare screw head (and de-stitched leather) on the dash and wondered if that was original design or if something was missing. At shows I always cover the screw and stitching with paperwork
