The SEM 15033 saddle looks like it has a green tint to it. Looked ok but not right. So for the third try I purchased parts place ( m36) 70 saddle. I will be very curious as to how it matches the door panels and seats when I order them. It matches pretty close to the original seats. I have one can of OER dark saddle and three cans of the 15033 if anyone needs them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other parts in the bedroom ( except the NOS 70 and 71/72 fenders). I told you this car will never get finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine new shift plate has the burlwood coming apart It should just be a “sticker “. If the original is peeling just get it off and replace it. Be careful because there are a lot of different designs and colors that these websites say are correct and they are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful because there are a lot of different designs and colors that these websites say are correct and they are not. I agree about the different Burlwood. I bought these from Dynacorn and the Burlwood matches closely. The edge is a little loose so I may try a small brush and some super glue. Where are you getting the replacement Burlwood?

Thanks Collectors Auto Supply. It’s darker and has a great mix of brown. When I did the 71 it matched the dash plate perfectly. I’ll let you know how it matches on the 70 because I think the 70 is darker than the 71. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Today’s all day project was to restore the AC vents on the dash. I got one done and started the others which will go a lot faster now that I have a plan. The floppy directional vents are no more. I know that I could have just bought new ones but I wanted to try this first. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the top and bottom of the vent for left and right. The louvers have 6 little plastic girdles they roll on and they are always broken. That’s why the vents flop around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
