Try PB Blaster, it says on the can that it helps rejuvenate a toilet tank flapper which is made of rubber.

Mine is a 68 convertible and the rear harness runs from the front all the way to the rear. The connector as I recall is behind the drivers kick panel.

Originality / Re: Date Stamping
« on: March 28, 2014, 03:09:17 AM »
The underside of my original 1968 dash pad has a white stamp that looks like 12/11/67 with some type of circular inspection stamp over it and my build was 3rd week of January 68. Also had 632 in yellow marker which I am not sure what that is. Door panels have ink date stamps on the inside of the panels

My experience has been very positive and I would recommend them as they provided me with very prompt delivery service, answered my questions over the phone, always received the items ordered in good condition. I purchased front end suspension parts and the USA made trunk and floor pans and numerous other small parts.

Restoration / Re: Rear bumper bracket rivets
« on: December 28, 2013, 02:59:28 AM »
I chiseled off the original rivets and cut threads off an old bolt and had it welded on to the original rivet head and secured with a nut. That way if I ever want to re-chrome the bumper I can remove the bracket easily. No one will know unless they reach up inside the bumper.

« on: October 11, 2013, 01:16:00 AM »
Thank you Jim for the information. Looks like I need to go back and paint mine as it was originally black with some paint rubbed off and it is original. Some of these vendor's would have you believe that the clip was not painted originally. Oh well

Originality / 68 Console seat belt clip finish
« on: October 06, 2013, 02:17:16 AM »
Was the seat belt clip in the 68 console painted black or bare metal finish?
Appreciate a response from someone with an original console.

Restoration / Strange hole in LH floor pan on transmission tunnel
« on: October 03, 2013, 02:58:35 AM »
I found a hole near the LH floor pan on the LH side of transmission tunnel about the size of a dime, was this a factory hole and any idea what it might have been used for? See picture and hole below the gas pedal area
Thanks in advance

« on: September 26, 2013, 06:06:48 PM »
Jim, that was just what I needed. Based upon your reply I removed some of the flat black paint with acetone and a cotton ball and under it was the original semi gloss finish.
I now have another part to paint with Sem's Promax Semi Gloss b!ack

Originality / 1968 Console Automatic Shifter Plate Finish
« on: September 25, 2013, 12:10:04 PM »
If someone has an original console with an automatic from 1968 and can post a pic of the black console shift plate that the lens fits into between the horseshoe shifter that would be greatly appreciated. Mine appears to have more than one gloss of black, higher gloss on the flat ends and side and flat on top around the lens. Is this correct and should the raised edges show the chrome which is how the reproduction piece is sold? It is part # 3921804 D55 in the AIM. I am not sure GM would have gone to the trouble of having two different gloss finishes on this part.

Originality / Re: 68 Camaro Center Rear Bumper Bracket Grommet
« on: September 22, 2013, 12:39:01 PM »
Yes, not listed in their catalog or online. It is a 1" diameter hole, I picked up a rubber grommet from Lowes which I will try and should keep the wire from rubbing on the bracket, but prefer original if possible.

Originality / 68 Camaro Center Rear Bumper Bracket Grommet
« on: September 21, 2013, 02:43:29 AM »
Any suggestions on where I can get the rubber grommet for the center rear bumper bracket on a 68 camaro. The license lamp wire goes thru the bumper bracket which has a rubber grommet.
It is GM 1367472 and is listed in the AIM on page 172 UPC12 C4 Rear License Lamp.
A source for a used one would be great also
Any help is greatly appreciated
