85lebaront2 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 I figured that roll's lack of 'grain' would probably play best for your purpose. I'm glad it's working out for you, and can't wait to see the final result. As Gary would say "another layer of the onion" Jim, here is what it looks like, the outer edges are hidden when the console is assembled. Small white corners around the rocker switch are due to trying to fold the edges back and not having enough clearance so I had to cut them out after the piece was glued down. The thumbwheel and rear defroster openings have the edges folded back and glued. I think the texture is perfect for that application. Thanks!

You could probably colour the corners in with Sharpie and no one would be the wiser. Or.... there's always more to give it another shot. Anyway, you're happy so Im happy!

Gary Lewis Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Gary, I tried 3 times and it showed it at one point. You did it this time, Bill. Looks good. But I'm with Jim - a black Sharpie and no one will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpin Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 You did it this time, Bill. Looks good. But I'm with Jim - a black Sharpie and no one will know. That worked out well! Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, here is after a little touch-up work with a black Sharpie: From the bottom so you can see how it fits together, stud in the center is a 6-32 stand-off with an extra hard drive screw installed with super glue: Back side (actually the front as it is installed, violet item is a chip clip supporting it to hold it level: A bonus picture, I was trying to figure out a way to replace the Teflon on the door strikers, found this, later model minivan, only difference is the 8mm hex on the inner end, ordered 2 new ones: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always nice to find a part that is direct swap and readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
