Ask and ye shall receive. The last picture shows a rubber grommet to protect that piece. I may use it as the stop for the emergency brake. Jim.

Thanks but I'm not the only one that has a hand in bringing this one back to life. It's Jim's "banananose914" car with Kent's amazing metal and paint work. We've all had fun putting it back together!!!

Put the spare tire and rim in today. With the correct hold down. I used Wurth satin black, but I think it came out too glossy. I should have stayed with the other satin black I normally use. Another lesson learned. I have also found that the push button on the Wurth paint can takes quite a lot of pressure. Anyway, the rim looks pretty decent, but I may just re-spray it again using the paint I'm familiar with. The face of the rim is polished to match the rims on the car.
