Hey, im in the process of replaceing my center consol stuff. And my original snap on boot cover is all torn. I got a new one that has some EL in it. looks great...but i cant seem to figure out how to connect it. Someone said something about "clips". Is that all i need?

also, got a 8-ball shift knob. I think i need ot tap out teh ball. Does anyone know the actual thread size on the shifter for a 1975 280z?

The shift boot is held on by 6 or 8 metal clips. Check on the bottom of your console they may still be there. Mine were. Some had fallen down onto the tranny tunnel. I think the shifter is 8mm but I'm not sure.

thx...i went and tapped out a 8ball anyway...

i found 4 clips, and installed teh boot. It doesnt quite fit..leaves a bit of space at teh top..but im gonna fix that eventually.

I really need a digi-cam so i can start posting pix of my process'es..

EL Nino?

EL Taco Bell?

What the heck is does EL stand for? :stupid: I don't feel that old but apparently some new abbreviation slipped past me while I was out at sea. The best I can figure is Electrical Lighting.?.

Clueless

EL=ElectroLuminesance. It is liek a cable/wire that becomes lit when power is applied to it. I have a lot of experiance with them for movie prop making, easy to use. I already have some installed onboard..not gonna go the RICE route though (thank god)

Ahh, yes. I know the stuff. Easy on that stuff... It could unintentionally get ricey.

Welcome

Nate

i belive that is all i want to "EL"...stupid double post...
