Thanks. Brent Brock taught me about DigiKey for electronic-related items. They have a wide assortment of heat shrink (and connectors). Here's a link to the one I used:

Nice work Doug (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks for the tip on the SEM plastic paint. I may have to steal that idea for my belts.

Mine are from Pelican (I believe made by Carbone). They look nice to me but I've since been made aware that they are not a perfect reproduction because the 'R' is incorrect (see pic below the sticker next to the original). The image on your website also looks the same. If possible, it might be a good idea for you to change the R and not only have the best price but also the most correct replacement. Now what kind of anal retentive a-hole would even notice such a thing?

Thanks, Brent. I should add that I also washed with Dawn, scuffed with a grey scotchbrite, washed again, dried well, and used a generic adhesion prompter prior to applying the paint.

How did you replate the section that bolts to the center console?

@doug_b_928 and @Jett - just hold the mechanism in the same orientation that it is in the car so that the belt will release. Pull it ALL the way out and then grab the axle and push the belt back out thru the slot in the axle.
There is a pin that keeps the belt from pulling it back through - it slides out of the pocket in the belt and then (and this is important) WHILE STILL HOLDING THE AXLE AND PREVENTING IT FROM SPINNING, pull the belt back out of the slot. At this point, I used a small screw driver slipped thru the slot to keep the axle from spinning out. When you're ready, you can then grab the axle, remove the screwdriver and then start spinning the axle against the tension until it stop. Then back off half a turn or so and reinsert the belt and install the pin, pulling the belt tight back into the slot. Just be careful to not let the axle go as it'll spin out and release all tension. It's not a big deal and you can just spin it back again and all is well. While I had the the belt off, I removed all the hardware I could and washed the belt in some warm soapy water before hanging to dry and then reinstalling....just make sure you get the hardware on in the right orientation and order. |

The YouTube channel ‘Mike’s Restorations’ has a very detailed video on electroplating with everything you need to know and more. I highly recommend it if you’re interested in plating.

Great call on the suggestion of Krylon plastic paint. That combined with some new stickers with the wrong font on the "R" and they're good to go!
