Default More Questions

1969, C-3
Everyone Has Been So Helpfull With My Requests, Thank You All!

A Couple Of More Questions.
I Have To Replace Some Of The Rivets That Go Through The Floor Into The Seat Support. What Do I Use To Crush The Rivit?

Also, There Appears To Be What Looks Like A Place A Light Socket Pops Into (about The Same Size As The Interior Kick Panel Lights) Right Next To Where The Tripometer Reset Cable Attaches. Does A Light Go There? I Don't Seem To Have Any Extras.

If this is where you mean it turns out my 68 is the same as yours. I changed this post after taking this picture. At first I thought you might have the speed warning option.

Default Wiper Over Ride

The Area I Am Questioning Is Not In That Bracket It Is In One To The Left And A Little Higher Up. It Attaches As Well To The Speed/tach Dash Board. It Is Where The Spedo Trip Reset Cable Attaches. , There Is A 3/4" Hole That Looks Like A Light Socket Plugs In...anyone?

In Your Picture It Looks As If You Are Missing The Wiper Override Switch That Goes In The Center Hole.

Default The More I Look At Your Pic. It Is The Same Bracket

As I Look At Your Pic. It Is The Bracket I Mean. I Can See The Light Bulb Above To The Left.
I Am Confused. I Have This Bracket That I Assume The Reset Cable Goes In As Well As The Light. But In Your Pic. You Have The Wiper Dooand Head Light Door Over Ride Switches In The Other Holes. On Mine I Has Another Bracket That Mounts Dead Center Under The Steer Whhel Coulm That The 3 Over Ride Switchs Mount In.
Is That A Difference Between The 69 And 69?

If So, Does My Spedo Reset Bracket Get Only The Cable And No Light? I Do Not Seem To Have An Extra Light Socket To Plug In.

George,

Here's a couple more pictures of my 68, I'll try to get some of my brothers 69 later today.

I've got the speed warning option and that first picture showed that on the far left and the tripmeter reset on the right.

This picture show all my do-dads.



Here's a shot of the lamp, I'll try to get a better angle if needed.



You do have me wondering what that empty hole in mine is for.

Default Perfect!

Your Picture Shows What I Need. I Was Wondering About That Light Next To The Reset Cables. I Do Not Have The Speed Warning , So I Only Have 1 Cable And 2 Extra Holes Plus On For The Light.
Thanks So Much. I Dont Need To See Any More.
Perhaps Help On Something Else Later As Mine Is A Basket Case I Am Puting Together.
