Yep .................
It's been replaced or repaired once before. It's going to take some patience grinding off the old one.

From the looks of it. You can see it's been welded once before. I had one side break out back in the 80s fixed and never broke again. When you get it fixed open it slowly same with the engine cover or that will be next. Time to break out the welder!! welder.gif lol-2.gif

I'll go with the JWest kit. I've never like this design.

Don't feel so bad Aaron.

Replaced my dome light switch rubber seals. Now the dome light works and the flasher relay blinks constantly.

Car looks good. beerchug.gif

I bought one a few months ago. Appears to be out of stock right now but I am sure that is temporary.

Jwest has adjustment, re-welding a stock one you have to be 100% bang on.
