that's a good'un Bill, vent opening inward would make it a one-off truck, worth more
- should those rivet heads pop off? there are no rivets there anymore.
> 2 Bills vote for drilling the heads off, carefully so you don't hog out the hole
- the rivets that hold the seal will be covered by the velcro looking stuff i received in the mail right?
- the (2) rivets that hold the trim piece go thru the velcro stuff and will be visible once i'm done with everything.
> if you leave the channel fuzzy for last it can cover all the rivets - I built up two assemblies using repro
division bars that came with the felt liner already molded in and captured with chrome
strips on the edges, but no holes in the bars - notice the "trim" is the green on the division bar
in this pic [not the chrome latch striker], and it should go on before the rubber so those rivets are under the rubber
- what is the order of assembly then?
> with the glue in felt channel liner, the frame can go on first, the rubber seal next and the fuzzy liner last to cover all the rivets
- am i missing something (parts) reason i ask is because your picture looks like you've got some fuzzies/scrubbers in there. All I got was a section of what looks like velcro material...i may have not ordered everything needed.
> yes, some of the repro channel liner is stiffer than original [which was felt, like
the cat whiskers Bill mentioned] - a buddy got some of the coarser velcro-y type for his panel and it seems to work fine, not sure if the softer fuzzy felt style is available anywhere as glue in, but might be
-lastly, do you have an assembly guide for the pivot stem & spring for the vent window?
>
pic of pivot and spring, I'd hafta look at it again to give more detail, the pointy washer determines the direction of movement, different each side
I guess I owe you several cold ones after this huh???
be quite a while before I make it to FL
