    68 Console shifter details, What am I missing???

    So, I'm trying to get al of my pieces and parts to fit. Some new and some used. I just scored this cast aluminum piece that mounts to the bottom of the forward top plate with four nuts. My problem is the clear plastic lens with "PRND21" fits on these little pins before you mount it to the top...

    P.O.S. Turn signal switch! Who makes a good one?

    Dan doesn't have any switches at this time! Thanks for trying Guys! I was going through my parts hoardage and found that I had bought two Year One FD47801 back on 03/05/05. One of them is what I installed and is the one I posted pictures of. I had to open up the fit where the turn signal lever...

    Turn signal plug placement?

    I'm trying to find out where to clip the female half of the turn signal plug under the dash. There's nothing in the FSM and I have looked on line with no success

    Turn signal plug placement?

    Can anyone tell me where the little white "Tit" goes on the end of the plug for the turn signal wire harness? Man, I looked everywhere and can't find a thing! I want to mount this in the right spot and be done with it. Thanks!

    Door Hinge Rebuilding question

    In that case I would try a local smaller machine shop. If the springs are O.K., and the only issue is sloppy pin fit, They could put the hinge in a machine vice in a Bridgeport mill and ream the holes until they clean up. Then make two pins up.

    Door Hinge Rebuilding question

    You can do all kinds of crazy stuff if you want but my car has 40k original miles on it and the hinges have little wear. I fixed them in 20 minutes with an oversized reamer and made two oversized pins. I figure I can go for another 40k without worrying about it. That means I'll be DEAD!

    P.O.S. Turn signal switch! Who makes a good one?

    OUCH! $309.00! I'm worried about old plastic giving up the ghost, as well as the cost? Boy, I'm glad I'm close to the end on this thing! Anyone know how good the OER one is? They have two listed, but how to figure out which one? Thanks Guys! I appreciate the help!

    P.O.S. Turn signal switch! Who makes a good one?

    So back in the 90's (Me thinks) I bought a new turn signal switch from Year One. I just put my column in this morning and found alot of things wrong with it! Anyone know of a good repo? On November 1st of last year "Threewood" posted that the switches with the yellow cams are junk and showed a...

    Door Hinge Rebuilding question

    Yes, Being a Machinist, those bushings are definitely a no-no. Too soft. If you can't ream the holes in one set up all together for 100% clean up and machine a couple of pins to fit snug, send them out and get them done right.

    1968 GTX Steering wheel restoration advice?

    Yes. It was probably the heat generated by the cotton buffing wheel schmoozing the stuff around. The foam pad really works well with the polishing compound. I really thought my Goose was cooked. That polishing compound feels like nothing! No grit at all, but it's just very fine. Phew!

    1968 GTX Steering wheel restoration advice?

    O.K., so it's 15 months later and I found the magic bullet! As I said previously that I had wet-sanded the wheel with 600 wet and tried to use regular rubbing compound and a 4"wheel on a cordless drill but the material was too "Gummy" and wasn't behaving. I had these two bottles of plastic...

    Front drum wheel cylinders

    So I "got-er-done". I ended up grinding a smidgeon off of the spindle to clear the bent box wrench that you showed me. There was no other way! Funny thing is, I used a Mighty-Vac to pull the fluid through the Master cylinder, and when I was done, I put a hose on the fittings and let gravity do...

    Front drum wheel cylinders

    Yeah, that last photo is it! I really thought that they mis-machined the darned thing! O.K. Guys, I'll bend up a wrench tomorrow and have at it. Thanks for the help.

    Front drum wheel cylinders

    Yeah, Maybe I'll have to make a wrench up like that! But I'll still have to grind clearance for the hose to slip on. Thanks!

    Front drum wheel cylinders

    Can't get a 1/4" drive thin wall socket on the darned thing! Even if I could, I have to put a hose on the screw and a wrench to loosen and tighten it. Maybe look for N.O.S. wheel cylinders.
