68 ignition switch mounting

Is there a metal plate behind the dash that the ignition switch goes through? When I purchased the car the dash was all pulled apart and the ignition switch was just hanging. I am trying to piece this all together and put it back together correctly. Any advice or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there is a bracket that supports the ignition switch and cigarette lighter. Check out these pix. Good luck with your project!

As Billdini noted, the gauge cluster must be properly grounded. There is a similar bracket and ground strap for the WW switch and headlight switch.

. . . Like I stated there is an additional ground wire that runs from there to the ebrake housing that is grounded to the car itself.

This is important enough that it's worth a couple of pix.
