missing blind

[Tadams]

Where would I find the blind for my 65 Barracuda console. I had someone send me one several years ago but that one was left in the last car I sold.
I had seen these in Classic Industry catalog in the past, but not the new one. I called to check and was told they no longer have these.
Thanks

What is the "blind"?

 

[Tadams]

Part of the console where the shift leaver comes thru blocking the light and keeping trash from dropping into that area

 

[65 Dartman]

Oh, the plastic slide. I don't think I have anymore but will do some checking in the boxes.

 

[Tadams]

That is it. I had seen these listed in the catalog and was called a blind. Your term fits as well

If its anything like the one for 66 through 76 automatic consoles, you can make your own. I've made a few over the years. Most recent donor material came from a Walmart/Mainstay cd binder. Only tip is knowing the hole through isn't exactly round, its oval to allow the slight bow shape.

Thanks Redfish. I had actually gotten one from you about 5 or 6 years ago and left it in the car I sold. Classic had them in their catalog a few years ago for 11.00.

Black antifreeze or oil jug works well to make one also....

I'll be happy to pay you if you find it. I know you can make one, but I'm not sure of the size to cut. I'm certain I could get it figured out. Would rather just find one
