85lebaront2 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 My, those holes in the socket take me back to days of Eprom's. 👴 They should, that's exactly what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the overview. The bit about the Mongoose cable I understood quite well. EEPROM? Yep, done my share of those. Good luck on repairing the boards.

Good luck on repairing the boards. First here is the bottom side of the board from SBEC 5235477. Wire is 30ga stranded, cut stripped, tinned and soldered across the broken trace: Here is the other part I have been working on, this is the left rear inside quarter trim. Hopefully the wrinkle will be hidden by the seat cushions. It is due to the foam backing that was put on the lower piece by the upholsterer when he stitched it together. The panel is actually 3 pieces, the lower goes up to the top of the welting, the speaker area is two pieces, the inner of which was covered in a porous cloth and the front which the seat belt passes through and the top boot snaps onto with the top folded.

Hopefully those wrinkles will diminish when the sun cooks them. It's really coming together, Bill Progress is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you are repairing the board. That should last and isn't dependent on the glue holding the trace on. And the panel looks great, save for the wrinkle. And as Jim said, perhaps it'll lay down when it gets hot. But in any event it should be hidden by the seat. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a couple more pictures of the left rear quarter interior installed in the car. It will all have to come out when the top is installed for access. The upright panel serves as the support for the rear seatback and the cushion goes under the seat back and has two bolts from the front holding it in (for reference a Mustang fastback rear seat is more comfortable. I also have the speaker mounted, I decided a surface mount the way Polk intended will be fine as I only had someone in the back seat once in the time I owned the 1985, it was two teenage girls, granddaughter and her best friend, it was summer and they wanted to ride back there and let their hair blow out behind them. First picture is installed, second is after activating the illuminated entry system, you can see the light source for the lock cylinder halo in the door and the courtesy light in the front lower portion of the trim panel.
