Finally, I used 3M 90 spray contact on both the back side of the perlon and the top. 3 coats in opposite direction. Let it get tack and glue them together.

Finally, reattached the hardware and made the adjustments on the car. Looks pretty good. All new rubber, new perlon, rebuilt latches which I will detail in another post.

Thanks Mark! Our phone call where you told me about using the Goof Off on the old contact cement was invaluable advice. It gave me a pretty smooth surface to work with. OBTW, I decided not to wait for the black perlon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) @mikey914

Awesome. Yes it's the best for removing without damage.

I had mentioned previously that I would show and talk about the rear latches. Sorry, retirement keeps me busier than I thought it would.

Like I’m sure a lot of you did, I availed myself of the 914Rubber.com group buy for rebuilding the targa latches. Lots of times, I just buy whatever the group buy is and throw it in a big box of parts for “whenever” I need that. Not this time. I’ve never been all that happy with my targa latches. They felt sloppy to me. The hook liked to wobble about and the spring was pretty tired. I got the most complete late set as my car started life as a ‘75 no matter what she looks like now. The complete late kit includes everything except the hook so you don’t really have to recondition anything.

The result is tight, the action is very smooth and precise. Home run @mikey914

Took the 914, or should I say, the 914 took me to Hot August Nights today.

A few that caught my eye…

Neighbor got off cheap!!! Virgil backed his Jeep in to my driveway to help me hang some cabinets. He heard a crunch and slammed on the brakes. Luckily, the crunch was literally only my left front euro turn signal lens. $60 some odd dollars and a Phillips screwdriver and it’s fixed. Thanks 914Rubber.com!

There are no scratches. It’s just light anomaly…. (I paid for the lens) Virgil wanted to but, bro, you helped me hang garage cabinets… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

When your project gets to where mine is at, sometimes it seems like you have nothing left to do.

Thanks to @mikey914 I got a little cool trinket today…

Just make sure to use a good locksmith. It requires a calibrated cutting machine and the Ace Hardware guys screwed up the 1st one I tested.

Ok, so, I had the key cut by one of the best locksmith shops in town. @mikey914 recommends. Then, I had some powder coating to do so I had them put some lipstick on my key because too much is just enough right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The powder coat guy says he has never seen a key CNC cut…
