How is the dash eyebrow attached? Is there a beading that fits behind it?

If it is like the Fibersteel build, there are bolts in the brow and nuts and washers high up under the dash holding it on. The build manuals for Fibersteel and CMC are in the library section of the site and are available to supporting members.
The red one recently listed here with tan interior has beading above the dash eye brow.

I think you mean FiberFAB, Bob. FiberSTEEL is a different deal.
OOPS! I'll be OK after a good nights sleep. I guess I have Fibersteel on the brain, it'd those drumskins. Of course you are correct Stan.
Yeah, I knew what you meant, Bob. It was just a courtesy post for future searchers.
There are probably several ways to mount them. I have a CMC kit. Drilled through the brow four times, installed flat head screws then filled the holes with that liquid rubber stuff used to coat the ends of tools. Then covered with the vinyl, drilled through the dash and attached with nuts and washers from behind.
On my CMC the gauge eye brow already had 4 studs embedded in rubber. I plan use Bruce's idea on the other dash rubber pieces so I don't have exposed screw heads. I'll probably square heads off before putting them thru rubber so the don't turn and then siliconing the opening. Tempted to take vinyl for eye brow and have a seam sewn down middle so it looks more finished.
Thanks for the response.
