How to assemble slider ashtray 68 coronet

[Gransedan]

Hi there.

I got different parts. Missing the small ball bearings.

Does it has to go like in photo 2 but then with the small balls in between?

Does the part in photo 3 has to come into the assembly?
If not, anyone which application?

What is the diameter of the ball bearings?

Thanks for your input, Pieter

I see you got complete ashtray that will need the 4 ball bearings to be fully functional. i had a hard time to find then for mine.
two on each side rail. no idea of size.

@Gransedan I just pulled a crusty slider ash tray out of my ‘68 R/T dash. It’s missing the pad and the “tray” insert is rotted out but after lubricating it, it opens and closes nicely. It may be suitable for parts. I’m not really interested in disassembling it. If you’re interested send me a PM.

Found these photo's from older post. This Helps. The 3rd piece I have (original post - third photo) is probably similar to what I need but the wrong one. Too big and with 2 lips instead of 1 lip. Anyone has the correct one? Thanks, Pieter

I found a guy on eBay sells just the balls for about $25.

I'm missing this part. Will first have to find that. I will make a post for it.

This post has some good info about bearing size and a home made part.

Thread 'Ash tray door installation?'

Sep 14, 2014

Hi, can some one tell me how the ash tray door fits into the dash? That actual tray screws in no probs, the door just doesn't seem to slot in and hold in place?

Looking at the 'slides', there seem to be to 'female' guides. Is there a piece in between the two slides on the door and ash trays?
