Hello,
After years of looking at the horrible wood added to my dash face I ripped it all off! The radio plate is or was damaged, its old a cracked. I removed the metal face plate and ordered a new "one" from a vendor. I have the correct material as well, all good right? ... I managed to remove all of the switches, not sure if I can actually reinstall them. However I cannot get the lighter out! I did remove the wiring which was a ****! The lighter is now "free", hanging in the hole, but I cannot get it out of the dash. I cut the old face plate off! How can I get the lighter housing out and then reinstall? There must be something simple I am missing?? Also the small "handle" for the glove box door is missing, any idea where I can get another one? I have tried the usual suspects for parts to no avail. I might just make one. Thanks Chris Any other 14 guys in Houston? |

I used a 4 1/2 inch grinder with a cut-off disc to cut the retaining clip/spring/ring.
Of course my dash frame was sitting on a table in my back yard at the time.. Jim |
