Gary Lewis Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 It might fit the passenger's side given the shape. But I don't think it would the driver's side as it is flat. Ok Gary, I got it. They are different style… There is the « folded up » style: And the « flat » style: And they all use a retainer clip. Didn’t find any NOS or used on the web, so a custom made knob is probably a good solution. Thanks for the leg work, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Thanks for the leg work, Jeff. Got a couple of cans of Regatta Blue ordered this morning from Vinyl Pro. Should be in on Thursday. Boy are those people good to deal with. And then I got the holes in the console filled. The G-Flex is setting up right now, but here are a couple of pics. The pic on the left is the console after hitting the area around the holes with a propane torch. You'll see a whitish color outside of that area, and that is what the console looks like after scrubbing with a gray scrub pad and Dawn soap. But the flame brought the color back. And the pic on the right is with the holes filled - and after I used my fingers to smear a few of the tiny "hairs" of glue that were outside the holes. In most cases the epoxy is domed slightly above the level of the console so I can cut it back a bit after it sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some ancient G-Flex the other day to glue some stainless flange nuts into my nephews broken spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've had excellent luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hope it holds for him, and I'll bet it will. So far I've had excellent luck with it. I'm pretty sure. I glued a piece of the bottom of a pop can over a crack. This stuff is tenacious, and even when it's so old it discolours, it's still plenty strong. If anything I'd be concerned about my prep of the stainless, but I got after them with a stone in my Foredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glue is setting up nicely in the console's holes, and I'm hoping to spend some time tomorrow smoothing things out. But I'm not going to prepare the console until I get the paint as I want everything to be squeaky clean. Maybe I can do that Thursday? And the Plasti Dip is to be in Wednesday so maybe I can spend some time painting the slides tomorrow to be ready to dip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will work. Now it is time to address the tracks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the bench seat legs painted today, and picked up the Plasti Dip. May get to put the legs on the platform tomorrow and dip the seat track handles tomorrow.

Gary Lewis Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 As you say, “progress”! It didn't really feel like much progress today as it was a lot of prep and a little bit of painting. But when (assuming) it comes together tomorrow that will be progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
