Thanks Derek. Once again you just go to show me that your car is awesome! Love the tan interior you got there.

I totally appreciate the info!

Cheers and Happy 4th.

Mark, should you buy a set, be sure to remove your cluster and buy some THICK CA glue (superglue) and then put a decent amount inside the rings, working from the center outward, then lowering the cluster onto the ring and allowing each one to set up and fully dry for 24 hours before you go on to the next ring.

Thick super glue is required and it does not dry instantly by any means.

What you do not want to do is attempt this with the cluster in the car. Don't ask me how I know this makes for a big uncleanable mess inside your car. :ah:

BTW, the cheapest place to buy a larger bottle of thick cyanoacrilate glue is your local woodworking store, such as Rockler or Woodcraft. I buy lots of the stuff each year for my lathe work (I make handwriting instruments and flood the woods with CA glue for a hard glossy finish).

Thanks Randall! I appreciate any and all info on this. I'll keep this in mind when I find a set.

Cheers

Well that was a bust. My order was cancelled as the set I ordered "has been discontinued".

Why in the heck are these things so difficult to find?
