MC1of80 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Besides the obvious heating element itself (the lighter) missing, the housing has slipped down. Needs to be recentered and tightened. If you wanted, you could paint the outer portion,between the woodgrain hole black. Also looks like the housing MAY have been replaced with a smaller (outer) diameter housing. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Like Tom says, clean it up and re-center it. The knob from the element covers most of the opening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_AstroMan Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 I did actually paint around the outlet...and it just looks awful because the surface is so rough. I might need to make a surround of some sort and slip it behind the wood. I'm surprised that something isn't missing in between there. The lighter itself doesn't hide it at all. Anyhow, thanks once again for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Yes, it does look a bit unfinished. Maybe a flat black ring of some kind. Or maybe a piece of burlwood to match the dash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
