Long time away on this.
I let the car sit an entire season just getting around to ordering a drive shaft, which I did. Running and driving again is a good thing and this car really needed the TKO gear box. Drives like a completely different (large, unwieldy) car.
Next stop is a working gas gauge and radio. I bought a complete cluster on Ebay so I can put a DIN size radio in place of the factory unit and have an un-hacked dash if I ever need one. Since the tank and sender have been replaced, the gauge itself is suspect so I'll basically be rebuilding the entire instrument cluster while I'm in there.
Since the trim plate for the radio is cast and my extra has two broken posts, I'm thinking my best option for holding it in place will be too drill out the posts and use button head cap screws. Has anyone ever repaired broken posts on pot metal parts?
