The "trim" in question is on the left side of the dash, below the speedo and clock die cast trim. The four tabs on the top of the gauge trim go under the speedo/clock trim, and is held in place by the threaded studs at the end. It matches the trim on the face of the glove box on the right. Good photos of the dash are in the excellent 1941-48 Club book, which all owners of vehicles those years should own. The depiction of the trim itself is shown on page 56 of the 1944-1952 body parts catalog. It is available at C&G as item V44. It isn't cheap, but certainly valuable for anyone restoring Fords of those years. 800/ 266-0470
