Well that's lame. Smash it until it works I guess, no way the Department of War and Finance is going to allow me to buy a new one.

Converting my 71 Swinger from 904 to A-833. The floor patch I have fits on three sides very well. the back of the patch sits higher off the floor than it should. Does anyone know if I got the wrong patch? Of course the number sticker is gone... Through visual comparisons online I have seen ones...

I definatley want to see that as well old mopars... What about straight 8 cams for the spindles in your stairs railings? "I've heard about living in a car, but this is rediculus." We'll see what happens next, might have a necessity for something and just happen to have autoscrap lying around.

I hope these show more clearly what I did. Since it was scrap I hammered on the gear to get it off and it and the retainer plate both fell to the floor and cracked. That is why I welded it together.

I'll take more pictures when I get home from work to more clearly show what I did.

Thanks for all the comments, I seriously did not expect this reaction. I did think about getting it chromed, I can get it done through work, but the colours of the cam and the shade match to well to change. A shade that looked like an air filter might look cool to...

I'm single so that's not a problem.... What about painting it Panther ink with plum crazy flowers...

Had my 100,000 miles 318 factory cam lying around, gave me an idea. Turned out pretty decent and for only $16 you definatley can't beat it with any lamp you'll buy for that much. $6 EKAS shade from IKEA $10 hanging light from same, Light is supposed to hang from ceiling with orbs for shades...

I think it looks cool, be something different and get people thinking if you ever open your hood at shows.

Do what you want, its your car. I have a 71 Dart but dont like the bumperettes, I will take them off and it will be like a 70. Whatever makes you happy...

Good stuff, just went to court this morning. They dropped it down to a 65km/h in a 50. 15k over, no points and a $45 fine. WAAAYYY better than the 4 points and $226. It pays to just show up. And I'm only working 4 days a week so it didn't even cost me pay.

Thats one thing I have noticed when driving in the States compared to Home, The troopers always have the hand on or near their gun, in Canada not so much.

I will be notified of a court date by mail in 6 to 8 weeks. WTF

Going in on Friday, set up a court date, hopefully all goes well. At least right now I have Fridays off so I'm not losing any pay.

I was in my 2009 Ranger, I know... But Im sure the speedo is fine in that case. The ticket was for what I was going, no reduction at all. I have no problem in paying the fine, I am more than happy to, by all means I was breaking the law, it is just the points and subsequent insurance hike that I...
