I bought some fuzzies from 914Rubber and I am sure they are safely packed away in one of the 3 storage units I have full of stuff.

I need them now as it is the first thing to do on a door reassembly - so I made my own using the Ed Morrow method. I saw him do something similar when we did the Buttercup build but it didn't get documented.

Items needed:

5 feet of 1" Velcro (you will just use the fuzzy side)
2 four foot lengths of 3/16 wood dowel
1 bottle of Super Glue Gel

The pictures are pretty much self-explanatory. I cut the dowels to length making sure to leave the holes exposed for the screws. I like Super Glue Gel as it sets in a minute and you can continue on the project. Start to finish was less than 5 minutes.

These work in a pinch - but you can't beat 914Rubber.com.

I do like the idea. The screws will help to hold it in place. My only concern is that without a hard backing, the ends could get displaced.

That was just one of the few things we had to improvise. I think we used 14 gauge wire rather than a dowel along with a hot glue gun. Seem to remember giving Mary the idea and she made them. Somewhere there's a pic of her holding a finished one. Coming up with a clutch tube on a winter weekend in western Kansas was a whole 'nother trick

Ed,

You are spot on. Hot glue and #14.

Yes, the rear firewall was a mess. Good times nonetheless!

I agree. I hope to use the "real" ones someday...

I have at least 2 new sets from Mark here. But it looks like you have it handled. Nice to see the willow car is coming together. I would love to come help.

Rick,

Don't tease me! You know you and Sandy are always welcome. Cheers!
