Not sure what exactly I am looking for, but I am sure it is somewhere since I never throw anything away.

First item: I have the brake warning light and the bezel that clips into the dash. I also have the light bulb and wiring behind the dash. What I am missing is whatever connects to the back side of the brake warning light bezel for the bulb and socket to plug into. What am I looking for, I cant find a picture in the parts manual. Is it a metal piece that kind of looks like the back of dash screw on part that holds on the the cigarette lighter? That is what I am picturing for some reason, but I may be way off base.

Second item: Whatever holds the light switch to the dash. I spent some time looking for screw on bezels marked "wipers" and "lights" and then a light bulb came on and I realized these are marked in chrome on the dash bezel itself. I have the light switch and the rod that operates it, but cannot picture what hold the switch to the dash. The switch is really recessed and I think there must be a long metal cylinder (2 1/2 inches or so) that goes into the light switch recess in the dash bezel and is threaded to screw into the switch itself behind the dash? Can anyone describe what I am looking for on this one.

I did find the Heat and AC control faceplate after looking through everything an entire day and finally located it under the hot water heater in the garage where it had fallen off the shelf. I did quite a bit of part sorting and box labeling then. I really did not bag the screws when I took things apart, since the screws were such a mismatch of correct and incorrect parts. I am using all new nut and bolt kits for reassembly if possible.

I am not doing badly at all trying to do this from memory when I took it apart over two years ago. If I had know it would be in the body shop for over two years, I would have taken a few pictures. My wife tells me "I told you so" about the pictures every day. That helps. That helps alot. LOL
 
Hope this helps:

Damn Cmmopar, you are good! the shaft that screws to the light switch and the can that attaches to the brake warning light are exactly what I am searching for. I replaced the light switch with the dash removed an may have left the one part on the old light switch. I will have to check that as it is in a box in a storage shed. The other piece may be small enough to have been thrown in with my miscellaneous bold and nut cans.

Thanks for the assist!

Thanks! I am sure I will be in touch. I promised the wife I would have the dash off the dining room table in time for her to have Thanksgiving Dinner. I found the shaft for the light switch still attached to the old light switch I replaced after the dash was out. I had to order a brake warning light assembly from TonyMopar. I am surprised that M&H does not give a description of what plugs into what after you have connected all of the unique connectors. I have a colored 67 GTX wiring diagram, but still do not have and idea where some individual wires connect. M&H recommends that you take out the old harness and compare it to the new harness as a starting point. I was kind of hoping to keep the car driveable until the new one was installed in the refurbished dash. I was kind of hoping to install the dash fully wired and then having to just plug in the bulkhead connector. I should still have a few connections to the brake pedal, heater, AC etc, but not too many. The M&H color coding does not seem to be an exact match to the old harness or the wiring diagram, either one.
