Skrambler Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Hello all, I seem to have lost several items to the garage gremlins some time since this Fall. The parts that I am now in despirate search for is the glovebox door (complete, I have the hinge!) and the chrome bezel that surrounds the speedometer assembly. I am going to have these parts re- chromed, so I would like for the pot metal to be as pit free as possible. I know, I know, picky picky picky. Really, any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you! Quote
knuckleharley Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 I know I have at least one extra glovebox door,but I won't have a good trim piece for it. I may have the instrument cluster cover too,but will have to look around for it tomorrow and see. Send me a PM or email tomorrow and remind me. Would you happen to have a extra windshield divider bar and a pair of wiper bezels? Quote

knuckleharley Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Knuckleharley, I think I have a devider bar off a P-15, I need a wiper control knob for a p-15. can we make a deal? We could if I had one,but I don't. I have my tach mounted in that hole,and run my wipers from a column stalk. How much do you want for your divider bar? Is it pitted,or can I send it off to be chromed? Guys,I had to modify this post so I could give you all a word of warning. I had just bought a Newport Engineering 2 speed electric wiper motor for my coupe,and since I already have a GM column in the car,I wrote that I was using the wiper control on the stalk because that is what I was planning on doing. I have since found out that you can NOT use a GM wiper switch with a Newport Engineering electric wiper motor. It will fry the motor. These wiper motors come with a switch made to match the motors as a part of the package,and it is mounted in the dash like a headlight switch,on a bracket under the dash,or you can even buy a "shaft extender" for it and use it in the place of the original wiper switch if you want to keep your dash stock looking. I repeat,do NOT use a GM wiper switch with a aftermarket wiper motor unless you have called the manufacturer and they tell you it is safe to do so. I called Newport on the phone Friday,and they are the ones that told me to not do it because it would burn up the wiper motor. Quote
Skrambler Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 Well, I just heard from the chrome shop. They said they had some good news, and you guessed it, some bad news. Good news, they found the glovbox door! Bad news, they seemed to have mis placed the glove box pot metal surrounds that are mounted on the dash around the glovebox opening.... This now leaves me looking for the glove box surround, AND the speedometer surround. So, if I may again be so bold as to ask for any help, I would really appreciate it! Begining to loose faith in the chrome shop. Quote
maurice wade Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 knuckle, Let me check on condition of the center windshield bar, this bar is in the center of the windshield and the rearview mirror is attached to it, is this what you are looking for? Maurice Quote

Maurice That is the part I need,but I only need the OUTSIDE chrome part. The inner part where the mirror attaches is still good on my car. Quote

Sorry for not addressing your request for a wiper knob. I don't have one. I used that hole in the dash on my car to mount the tach. I have two parts cars and a total of 3 dashes. Not a single one of these dashes had a wiper switch still on it when I got them. Quote
