Help with parts I need before the Nats...
« on: July 30, 2010 - 02:17:36 PM »
Im trying to get the car 99% done (it will never be 100%) for the nationals; I have a list of issues that need addressing and was hoping for a little advice here. Its probably easiest to list it, so thats what I'll do

1) Antenna - I want a telescoping antenna that uses the original bezel and/or looks pretty much stock. I can find stock ones all day, but cant find  a telescoping one that I know will work and look correct - anyone here recommend one?

2) Door lock lever - Im missing the piece that attaches to the key mechanism and moves the lever to unlock the door when the key is turned. I cant find a place that sells it and really dont want to buy another set of locks for that little piece. Someone have one squirreled away that they are willing to sell?

3) SE belt molding - I need the push in clips that hold the molding onto the top of door. I searched RT specialties' website and couldnt find anything. I also sent an email, but havnt received a response. I dont even know if I have the correct clips, does anyone have an alternative or source for the clips?

4) Washer bottle - I can find this easily, but am amazed at how much they want now. I swear I paid like 18 bucks a few years ago and now they want 50+ :swear: I will probably end up shelling 50 bucks, but wanted to rant first....

Anyhow, any help is greatly appreciated  :thumbsup:

I have an extra door lock lever...But that is the chrome thing you push down to lock the door from inside the car. It sounds like you need the rod that runs from the key hole down to the locking mechanism. They aren't easy to find, and sadly the passenger's side and driver's side are different. Have you taken the door panel off and looked inside the door? There is a chance one of the plastic clips that hold it at each end might have broken, and the rod might just be hanging there, or it might have fallen to the bottom of the door.

I thought he was talking about the little lever at the end of the lock cylinder, which attaches to the lock rod. Am I wrong, Killer?

Yep, that is the part I'm talking about. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Thanks 72Cudamaan!!!  I got some good leads! These parts are pretty general and fit a lot of different cars, I will be look at Elko performance here in Australia they have lots of stuff. Failing that I will send away for them in the USA!!

Thanks again
