Installing euro under-dash shelves to North America 318ti.

[chevale]

Hi all:
I've got euro under-dash parts with shelves and tried to install the left one.




This is a part that suppose to protect driver's knees in case of the accident. After 20+ years it became hard like a stone.


When I removed three bolts holding the knee bolster, I found that behind it there is a huge bracket welded to the reinforced tube.






On the left side reinforcement bar is bolted to the body, but I haven't found where the right side of the bar ends and how it is secured.


If anyone installed the euro parts to North American car, I would appreciate the info how one can easy remove the reinforcement bar.
