[CDN72SE]

I like living on the edge, think I'll take my chances, lol. Don't even know if I will put any fluid in it. 

I had read your comments about the leak.

[CDN72SE]

Heading to the post office to send my wiper motor off to Stephan Fournier here in Canada to get restored.

[CDN72SE]

Sent the Brake Booster off to Booster Dewey.

She'll look sweet when you pop the hood. Going to get Stefan to do a few things for me also. 

[CDN72SE]

Wish I could just clean them up but I guess the level the car is getting to they will be too noticeable, lol.
What are you getting done?

[CDN72SE]

Got a preview of what i will be receiving back shortly.

[kent]

Looks good

Does the factory always bend over the threaded bolt that holds the clamp together like that ?
I never noticed that before

[CDN72SE]

Thanks, yeah that stood out when I saw that, I looked at my original pictures and yes mine was bent like that from the factory.

[kent]

Well I'm lucky that I have a job that allows me to work remotely and from home.
Every once in a while I take a little break to do some de-rusting in my big tub of Evapo-rust or I use some Boeshield T-9 that I have seen quite a few members use to protect some parts.

Your Wife figured out where the toaster oven went yet Alan?? Mine appreciated the new one.. 

[CDN72SE]

Lol, actually I dug it up from my parents basement, just have to keep my eye on it that it doesn't go up in flames.

[birdsandbees]

Did you find any bottles of The Tannery down there!! 

[CDN72SE]

You know I keep looking every time I drop by, just some old Consumers Distributing and Shop-Rite catalogues, Tupperware, etc.

Check eBay and Amazon for T-9.

[kent]

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

[CDN72SE]

I remember mail order, lol.

Yes B5 is right, I got it on Amazon.

Here's my latest purchase, time to start putting those rear quarter windows back, picked these up from National Moparts here in Canada, this is the place I actually bought my car back in '92. Hey Nigel. 







Removed the old seal, the new seal slides in and this little metal tab goes through the whole in the rubber seal.

Used some silicone spray as the seal was a very tight fit; which of course you want.



As we know with most repro parts they are usually a little off, the hole that was drilled in the seal was out of place so I had to drill a new whole and it had to be a little more oval for the rubber seal to fit over it.

Is nice to have those seals available. Unfortunately they don't seal as good as the originals. I got the first version made and they used to get wrinkled on bottom when you rolled up the door glass because the outer lip was not glued on bottom to the rest of seal. Newer versions got this apparently corrected because I have those to replace the first repros I got and could note the correction. But the metallic reinforcement built into the seal is still somehow shorter ( like the first ones I got ) and not extends to all the seal into the door glass so doesn't add all the pressure to seal up perfect to the door glass. When I was driving at high speed I could heard and feel the air coming into the cab throught the seal. No need to say what happened when I washed the car of course.

Dunno If I explained it well.
