Laecaon Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Arent your outers Highbeams still technically? They are dual filament stock... Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I wont mod any of the stock pieces. I have the appropriate one I took off to replace it with the refinished piece, so Ill just coat that one. I was already going to coat the other frame since it has the OEM radio bracket in tact. It wont be a big deal to swap out the fascia piece since the dash is already out. Oh well. Here is the completed dash install: Looks great. Are the shifter and turn signal knobs custom or where did you score those? Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Looks great. Are the shifter and turn signal knobs custom or where did you score those? Thanks. They are custom pieces I turned on the lathe a few months ago. Link to comment
Dirttrack510 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Stupid question... How do you remove the automatic shift lever knob? I've been wanting to change mine, but didn't want to damage anything. :) Link to comment

Dirttrack510 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I couldn't get mine to turn, maybe it's just really tight. Thanks though, i'll try again. Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I couldn't get mine to turn, maybe it's just really tight. Thanks though, i'll try again. Yeah it's factory threaded. I can shoot you a picture of mine... Maybe they switched to press fit after 69. Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Mine was threaded. Turn signal knob was press fit. I don't suppose you made any extra shifter knobs you would be willing to part with? Mines cracked and very fragile right now. Link to comment
ifixvws Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Damn I love the dash of your 510. So clean. I have a 68 but the dash and the entire interior were gone. I found a 72 for parts and grabbed all of that, but its not the same. Also is the carpet stock? It looks new. If you replaced it.... where did you find the Loop pile like that? Link to comment

Unfortunately, this is the only one. I do remember it being a standard thread... I would take your off, head to your neighborhood hardware store and check the thread. Then look for a manual shift knob of your liking and use that. Thats what my plans were before I made one. Damn I love the dash of your 510. So clean.

If you replaced it.... where did you find the Loop pile like that? Yeah, 68/69 dashes are where its at... I was lucky to find a second 69 dash so I could refinish one. I bought the carpet from a member named Shouldabeen. Great kit at a great price. Shoot him a PM and he should be able to help you out :thumbup: Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Until I can get the right dash fascia installed for an auto, this is how I have to drive around: It keeps the ignition away from the brake. Luckily its not too terrible on the actual switch. I still dont like it so once I move I will make other arrangements for the ignition switch. Link to comment

Tristin Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 right on. thanks for the 411. Yep, good luck :) Edit: Now that I think about it, I might have an extra black OEM knob floating around. I just moved all my parts into storage these last couple days, but I will be going there tomorrow. Ill check if youre interested. Link to comment
