I had trouble with the DMT pins in some holes. Paint around the holes makes them slightly smaller. The pins would collapse and bent before going in some of the holes. On the few holes that I had trouble with, I put a small tapered punch inside the hollow pin. Tapping on the punch helped them...

That was going to be my plan if I couldn't find the correct gaskets. I can open up the inner holes in 2 of the extra inner gaskets...then use a short piece of vacuum hose to go through the glass.

Did you come up with anything on this? I bought some supposed NOS upper pivots with gaskets and tried to install them last night. The pivots are wrong and they came with 4 inner gaskets. I can reuse my original pivots but I need to figure something out for the outer gaskets that fit into the...

Just had a look at my original pad. There is just a hole in the metal frame at the ends for a screw. Nothing special.

It's not surprising given the fact that a lot of the reproduction arm rest pads are just a block of wood with a little foam/vinyl wrapped around it.(originals have a metal inner core/frame)

It's been too long ago. I don't remember how that attaches together. My pad came from BE&A but it should be the same as yours. If there was a screw that goes in from the back side, all you have to do is drill a hole in the metal frame of the new pad and run a screw into it. That's probably...

3M Adhesive remover will take it off but using a wire wheel will be WAY quicker. I agree with using a wire cup wheel. Make sure you don't have any loose clothing on. If that wheel grabs your shirt or the string from a hoodie, you'll be in trouble before you can even react.

You are correct. That's the anodizing. You can't polish the piece until the anodizing is removed. A lot of people have luck with removing the anodizing by spraying oven cleaner on the parts. Not the fume-free stuff but the heavy duty stinky stuff. The anodizing seals the metal. With the...

You could make your own. You can get stainless steel cup holder inserts on E-bay. Then build a box out of MDF and trim it to fit the floor hump. You can play around with designs to get something custom you like instead of being stuck with something that wasn't designed to fit the space. Then...

The metal tab keeps the lid "open". The spring is built into the hinge and keeps the lid closed.

67 might be different but... on my 68 the spring is a torsion spring attached to the hinge. It keeps the door shut...not open. There is a small metal tab on the back that locks it in the open position. 131-H Mopar 1966-70 B-body Console Door Hinge

Pretty sure they should match the seat upholstery. Herb's Parts has a line of interior paints so you can change the color of your existing ones instead of trying to find nice green ones.

Dante's Mopar Parts. Lots of times he can get you one from Legendary cheaper then dealing with them direct.

Both companies parts are made by the same supplier. BE&A parts are/were run first with the Chrysler part #s on them. Then the part #s are removed from the molds and the PG parts are run. For this reason, once BE&A runs out of a certain part, there are no more...since the part #s have been...

This is a BE&A upper pad...original lowers.

The ashtray door rides on nylon inserts. You need the ashtray assembly though. The nylon inserts are sandwiched between the console top plate and the ashtray assembly. The ashtray assembly and nylon inserts are not reproduced. As for paint, use SEM Adhesion Promotor and SEM Landau Black...

No holes like that in a 68 pedal. Thanks

Thanks. What year is the pedal in your picture? There is no place for that piece to go on my 68 pedal. I don't think it's used. Wouldn't be the first time an incorrect part found its way into a reproduction parts bag. Just an FYI, the spring that comes with the new pedals is total junk...

I bought a reproduction gas pedal. The hardware kit comes with a small black rubber piece. Where does this go? I don't see anything like it on my original one. Picture is from DMT website. Thanks

The first set of parts was way worse then the second set. The automatic top plate was really warped/bent and stuck up 1/2" or more at the back. It didn't even fit on the sides. There was a gap between the console body and the top plate. The replacement fits like it should in this area...

There are some sanding scratches in the chrome. The storage compartment door had a couple defects that were sanded and then painted over. You can still see the sanded areas. The quality is definitely hit or miss. If you can look at these in person before you buy that would be best IMO. The...

Got the console done the other day. 6-32 screws worked perfect for the storage compartment door. The door is still a little warped. It touches the console in the center but sits up on both ends. It doesn't look bad. Who knows, some of the factory ones might have been the same way. Overall...

Thanks...appreciate it! I'm sure I have some of those washers sitting around somewhere.

So, the tapered washers on the chrome screws are correct?

This might be the dumb question of the day but my car didn't have any carpet in it when I bought it. None on the floor and none on the console. The console is attached to the floor with 4 screws.(2 inside the storage compartment and 2 at the front on either side) Are the front screws supposed...

These are from PG Classics. The ash tray door fits fine. When you compare it to an original, the new one is twisted/warped but it still fits. You'll never see it once installed. I installed it last night and it fits fine. It gets close to touching the under side of the top plate but it does...

So, I found some speed nuts that worked. When I bought new DODGE letters for my Challenger hood, they came with zinc plated speed nuts. Since the original ones weren't zinc plated, I re-used the original ones. Those new speed nuts were the right size. The issue is that the "pins" on the...

A 6-32 screw will thread into the lid/door. My original lid used 8-32 screws so the reproduction lids do take a smaller screw. I cross referenced 6-32 to metric and got M3.5x.6 I'll compare both at the hardware store and see if they thread into each others respective nuts. If I can't find...

This is my second set. The first set was warped badly. The front edge of the top plate stuck up in the air about 1/2" when the back of the plate was sitting flat. The door also was warped. I talked to PG on the phone and they wanted them back to look at them. They sent out another set and I...

The holes in the door are too small for the factory screws. The original speed nuts for the shift indicator assembly worked ok. The original speed nuts to hold the plate to the console are too small.
