    no simple solution other than cutting a notch out of the console. or cut and bend type b shift lever shift level on the right is one that I cut, bent and rechromed to the correct shape for type B transmission. This is for a 70 or 71 car, which now clears the center console using type B transmission. steve

    Sounds like you have a type B transmission installed in the car. Is you gear shift straight or does it have a slight curve? http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/AandBtranny.htm Steve

    Make sure you keep the old panel as the new one does not come with holes and you will need to drill them.

  19. are you getting your seat belts redone? I just looked at mine and you need to cut the seat belt webbing to get it off and to replace it .

    l Each part must be shiny to start with, I also make sure my zinc plates are shiny and clean and not dull. Agitation is a must when plating and I do use a small amount of zinc brightener. Then it all comes down to your technique what will work with your own setup. What works for me might not work for you, I tried many other peoples way and it just would not work for me. very important is the prep and the correct calculation on amps to use, if this is to high you will burn your zinc plates and if it is to low you will get the same result as being to high, which is dull plating. That is why you must do a lot of trial and error and figure out what will work for you. If you use to much brightener your chromate will wipe off, to little and it will be dull. Once I figured my setup out, I do it the exact same way even down to the seconds on some of the steps. As funny as it sounds but seconds count on some of the steps. sand blast wire wheel acid dip wash I then plate at .14amp SQ 100 deg bath 2 agitation pumps 20 min plating time 85 deg chromate bath

    The Caswell is a Constant Current Rectifier... Once you get the hang of how your kit works best, you can get very nice results. It took me a lot of trial and error(month or so) to get results that I liked with my setup. What other people were doing did not work for me. The one thing that I did do, was to write down what I did for each step as far as prep work, plating time, bath temp, amps while plating, amp per SQ. Acid dip time, chromate dip time, chromate bath temp, etc. This helped my figure out what worked for my setup. What works for some will not work for others. A few pictures of some of the last things I plated.
  24. Looks like a great start with much potential.... post pictures, we love pics
