That left the other end needing a bushing.

Some things in life are just more pressing than others (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Indeed. And some presses are more than others (stay tuned).

Time for some 914 wood working today.

Some audiophile PO cut holes in the center console for extra speakers. Because.

Anyway, I want to rescue the console, and started today by filling the holes. I ordered some 9mm plywood. It almost matches the console ply, just a little bit thicker.

I traced the openings individually, and got out my trusty jig saw.

Glued in place. I will test the bond tomorrow. And then search for a good custom upholstery shop.

Thanks for posting the trailing arm procedure. I have a set of rubber bushings waiting to be swapped in for the unused polygraphite bushings in there now. Good to have this reference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Brent, it really did not take much force to install the bushings. I probably could have done it with just hand tools.

Just a bit of token work today. I sanded the console speaker hole patches. And I keep sorting through boxes of parts for things to take for powder coating, like the license plate brackets.

Still in a holding pattern, and so taking a chance to sort through parts.

Here's all of the trim pieces (besides the windshield). This includes stuff I took off my car, the the PO had painted black, and a few pieces I have acquired as replacements.
