    So if any of you guys are like me and have the little velcro-kind-of fastener for your fuse panel... it likely has very few of the little prongs left.

    I found the exact same part that they used, but it's, thank God, a Corvette part.

    Which means it won't cost you $200 or whatever crazy price for four little plastic tabs.

    Instead it's 1.49 a piece :)

    Works on 1 of my mounting points nearest the center console. The other is close to 1.5x longer on the passenger door side. Any ideas on what to do for the second?

    How the Hell did you make the connection between a part designed for a C3 Vette T-Top and a 308’s fuse panel cover?!?!
    That’s some sorcery right there. :p

    Left side center to center is 1.125" and uses a standard rivet. Right side center to center is 1.25" and uses a wide flange rivet.

    It took a lot of time... I basically did a lot of searches to try and find the Ferrari part which doesn't exist. Then started down the rabbit hole of whether to call it "velcro" or some other such thing.

    Then finally found what they call it (I don't recall the name but it's like a variation of velcro.

    Then did a search on that, found that there was a supplier the did old Corvette parts and looked at the photos which appeared to be the same, but I wasn't sure until I actually ordered it and got it.

    Because it's a Corvette part it cost nothing to buy so it was worth the "gamble" to see if it was correct :)
