Normally we do but in the case of these seats since they required a complete overhaul I did not.

A lot of the 69 dashes crack around the edges where the screws go. That's what happened to mine i have some nice ones that i have found over the years because i know they are getting harder to find

Mine was cracked but easily repairable unlike so many used ones.

Do you need a gas cap? Is it a deep or shallow design?

SS427 02-20-2019 05:11 PM
I do not need one as I just bought one off the site but thanks for asking. My original was not to bad to begin with but elected to replace it anyway with an NOS one.

Possibly the "Mirror Lady"? I have had mixed reviews about her work but as far as I know, she is the only one doing them. I might reach out to her and see if she can simply supply the mirror glass and I can do the reassembly.

No lost sleep at all in this case. The repos are actually not too bad other than they seemed to be metric so it required a little thicker felt ring to hold them tight and I had to chrome one piece of the vent that was not chromed. Once completed I was very happy with them.

While at it I restored the antenna cable clamps and protective cover. Fortunately the cover was there and in good shape as these can be a tough item to find.
Your floors look better than most paint work ever seen..
