79 Shifter Console Plate, what material ?
Does anyone know what the material is that the General used in molding the shifter COnsole Plate ?
I am doing a total resto this winter. I plan to modify the console plate by removing the ash tray and cig lighter and fabing a mount for my sirius xm dock. I need to know the material so I can chose the correct product to solvent weld the plastic mods.
Thanks

Plastic fusion or Plastic Weld work great for making repairs to the plates. The would also work good as a filler if you were going to cut a plate and insert it into ash tray hole.

Willcox;
Thanks for the reply. I have seen plastic weld on the rack at NAPA. I think the sirius dock in the ash tray will work out sweet. Pull the actual radio out, close the ash tray door and wala no sirius.
I knew from the beginning that the plate was NOT zinc. Could not reply until now due to a busy day with my church.
Again my thanks
