Hey Karl,

I see you have the bronze bushing set for the pedal cluster
I put mine back together using that too, but after double-checking here on the BBS, I didn't use the roll-pin that comes with the set.
It's not strong enuf (several reports of it breaking)
Get the original roll-pin instead.
The factory part apeared strong enough to break my cheap ass benchvice when I tried pressing it back in place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

cheers,

Jeroen

thanks jeroen, actually, i was trying to get the pin that is in the rear on the tail shift tranny linkage, which seems to be the same size as the one in the cluster. PP said that it was NLA from the factory. hmmmm ........

I bead blasted the light motor housings.

I replated the hardware.

I bead blasted, POR-15ed, and repainted the black disc. The plastic actuating arm can't be cleaned is permanently discolored.

And I cleaned the wiring harness.

NO... I'm anal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) retentive man.

I just want everything fresh on the car.

I bought 3 tubes of Clorox wipes and I'm cleaning all the fresh air ducts parts inside and out. They work good for that. You just need to plast them with some comressed air to get the lint off.

I'm making up lots of little tricks to clean things up..

The fresh air vents on the dash.... clean up nice in the dishwasher!

Degrease nuts and bolts with some orange cleaner, rinse in water, and dry on a wash cloth in your oven. (My oven has a convection fan, and a "warm" setting, that just keeps it about 130 degrees, so things won't catch on fire! You could also use a hair dryer.

Some of Brad's wisdom... Brake Cleaner is great for degreasing. and cleaning about anything (except plastic parts). Good for removing glue residue and tar residue!

If that plastic is the same as the targa latch cups, or tail light lens nuts; stick 'em in bleach for a day or two. Whitens them up quite a bit...

Nope... I think the arms are supposed to be resin colored (sort of light amber). I think the dark streaks are from rubbing against the rubber seal for so mean years.

I tried bleach, Tilex, and even blasting... but it's permanently discolored.

I guess I could paint them... but they don't get seen anyways!

Half the crap I'm plating/painting, etc. will never be seen except for me.

Regards,

Karl

BTW... Goof Off is great for POR-15. Especially if you spray POR-15. It's GREAT for cleaning your paint gun and your hands before it dries.

That is good news Karl. I had NO idea Goof OFF would work with Por15. The race teams use it to get the bugs and the rubber marks off the cars.

I poured the excess POR-15 out of the spray gun bucket and rinsed it out with Goof Off.

Then ran the Good Off through the spray gun to clean out the insides.

Then I joust sort of drenched the gun in the Goof Off (I've got a gallon can if it) and everything came out spotless!

It WON"T work on dried POR-15. Only time or a belt sander will take that off your hands.

Dave: I'll probably get to the buckets over this week or next weekend.
