This kit includes all 45+ components from structural beams to decorative covers. No need to source individual parts separately. The assembly ensures all panels, brackets, and fasteners match perfectly for a factory level installation.
The dashboard includes sound absorbing cotton on the left center guard, top right guard, and lower right guard. This reduces engine and road noise, creating a quieter cabin environment for drivers on long Nigerian hauls.
Every hexalobular screw, tapping screw, rivet nut, washer, and flange bolt is supplied in the correct quantity. No searching for matching hardware. The fasteners are grade 8.8 or 10.9 as required for each application.
The dashboard features multiple cover plates for access to fuses, wiring, and control units. The ejector housing allows quick radio removal. The left and right repair cover plates give service access without removing the entire assembly.
The tube beam assembly is made from welded steel tubing with cross bracing. It supports the upper cross beam assembly and the right frame fixing bracket. This structure eliminates squeaks and rattles even on rough roads, ensuring the instrument panel remains rigid and quiet.
The left center guard, top right guard, and lower right guard all contain sound absorbing cotton. This acoustic material is specially formulated for automotive use. It absorbs noise frequencies from the engine and wheel wells, contributing to a comfortable cabin environment around the dashboard.
All screws and bolts are zinc plated to resist rust. The hexalobular socket design allows higher installation torque without stripping. The hexagon flower pan head tapping screws cut clean threads in plastic without cracking the material used for the instrument panel.
This dashboard is designed for the HOWO MAX 4X2 standard and sleeper cabs. It fits both left hand drive and right hand drive configurations. The clutch cover is for automatic transmission models. For manual transmission, the cover can be removed to adapt the instrument panel.
The assembly includes a storage device, a mobile ashtray holder, and a central shelfling table with a pull out drawer. These features keep essential items organized and within reach. The drawer mechanism is tested for 10,000 open close cycles, ensuring long term reliability.
Begin by mounting the tube beam assembly to the cab frame. Install the upper cross beam and brackets. Attach the main body assembly. Install all cover plates and trim pieces. Use the supplied hexalobular screws for plastic parts and flange bolts for metal brackets. Torque steel fasteners to 8 Nm and plastic fasteners to 4 Nm to avoid damage.
Aftermarket dashboard parts often use lower grade plastic that warps in sunlight. Genuine HOWO components use UV stabilized ABS and PP compounds. The sound absorbing cotton is not included in generic kits. Fasteners in copy kits may be the wrong hardness, leading to loosening. Genuine HOWO ensures every part meets original equipment standards.
The plastics are RoHS compliant and free from hazardous substances. The sound absorbing cotton is made from recycled fibers where possible. All components are manufactured in ISO 14001 certified facilities, supporting sustainable practices for this instrument panel.
