The next attempt worked. I learned to initially tap just hard enough to get the prongs into the hole, then a slightly harder tap to seat the body of the clip against the sheet metal--and then stop. In order to set the plastic pin, I tapped the punch just a little harder with a stiff mallet.

My luck held for all 19 clips.

I then taped up around the recess to protect the paint from the edges of the glass, and from accidental touches of the butyl rope.

Now I am ready for 914 friends.

I took a break from 914 work today, to build a new shop table.

Not fancy and probably overbuilt, but I figure heavy is a good thing.

I topped it with a layer of replaceable masonite. Here it is as part of my new garage layout. Still more to do.

And for now I moved out my old 2' x 8' workbench. I built this 30 years ago in the garage of the first house I owned, and dragged it from Texas to Alaska to Texas and then Colorado.

Thats an awesome table Bob, with the price of lumber these days that is easily a $10,000 investment.

Mirror day. I found two original late mirrors, and gathered all new hardware, including stainless screws.

One needed some tightening of the internal tension bolt. That requires a very thin wall 10mm socket.

While I was in the car I remembered that the left side dash vent had two problems: it tends fall out of the dash, and the pivoting vertical vanes flop around.

To provide some drag on the vane body, I cut a thin rubber washer from a bike inner tube.

This can't be too thick, since the pivot peg on top is short.

That tightened up the pivot nicely, with a small amount of drag.

To make the vent lock into the dash, I pried all the retaining clips outward from the body--while holding my breath.
