How thick is the dash? Mine is pretty thick and I also used 1/4" closed cell foam with leather. What I did was open up the hole in the back end a bit to allow me more room for the nut on the front. In other words I had a, say, 1/2" hole in the front but a 3/4" hole in the back about 1/8" or so deep. I used Forstner bits which gives you a nice clean hole. If you have already drilled a hole then the Forstner bit won't work well. You will have to use the bit around the outside of the hole you drilled (if that makes sense) and open up a larger area.

Also on the foam: if you have a seam or an area that should be rounded just use some 2" wide scotch tape.

I used hot glue for the foam to the dash and to apply the leather.
