I was reinstalling my driver side window switch on my 65 Riviera when I notices the prongs that plug into the switch plug were very hot. Actually I think that maybe only one as hot, not 100% sure as did not want to test it again to find out. Does anyone have any experience with this, would it be the plug, the the switch??? Is there any place to buy the switch new, I cannot find anything or line? Thanks Bob Lear

I am attempting to reinstall the glass into the rear window sash on my 65 Riviera. Can someone confirm the correct size setting tape I need to use. Any other useful tips would also be appreciated. Thanks Bob

On my 65 the light blue wire that plugs to the bottom of the main relay does not get hot when I turn my lights on? Can anyone give me any advice on how to determine the issue. Thanks Bob

how or what causes the rotation of the nozzles?

on the drive mechanism on my seat then is a plug that has a flat screw head. Is this for lubrication of the screw drive? Thanks Bob

I was having the exact issue with my horn bar. I finally figured out my problem. After years of glue, jb weld and expoy putty trying to hold together my failing horn bar I had glued down the final or outside plastic ring to the horn bar. Therefore it had not movement. I removed years of goo and put it back together and it works as it should. Only issue now is I have no horn bar to apply the horn. I guess I will be in the market for a new aftermarket horn bar. All of the info here was very helpful in me finally dialing in my issue. Thanks Bob

In Ricks picture, the metal piece that goes in second seems to have a little bit of a cup to it. Does the cup go up or down? Thanks Bob

Thanks for the help I was looking on the drivers side, did not even think they both would be on the passenger side. One other thing, you engine compartment is very nice, so clean, looks new!

Can someone please let me know where on the drivers side of the car the horn mounts? It a 1965 Riviera. Thanks Bob

dr914, my rubber brake hoses were very bad, along with the inside of the wheel cylinders being rusting and rough. I am back from Vacation, plan on doing the back brakes this week, then bleeding and hoping I have acceptable brakes do I can enjoy driving the car. Thanks Bob

the linings are old in age, with little miles on them. I did not change those out. I will keep this in mind if what I have done so far does not correct the issue. I just got the starter back in and found out I left the key on so now I am having to charge the battery before I can see if I made any improvement. But that will have to wait until tomorrow as my body has had enough for today. lol Thanks!

I am sorry for not posting anything, technical issue with my brain. I have a hard brake pedal, so far I have had the booster rebuilt, tested the vacuum valve inserted in it and all vacuum hoses, and have now replaced my wheel cylinders and brake hoses on the front of the car. I found my rubber brake hoses to be in very bad shape, maybe original? My wheel cylinders where full of rusty looking brake fluid and the inside walls where rusty and rough. I have new steel brake lines as well so they should be fine, no rust. I now plan to bleed the brakes and see what I have as far as my brake pedal goes. When I get back from Vacation I will be going through the back brakes as I am sure I will find the same thing there. I am hoping that as I have a read on this forum that my brake hoses were bad and collapsed causing this issue or that the old wheel cylinders condition were preventing them from work correctly. I will leave feed back on what I find. BTW, what should my vacuum pressure be coming out of the line that goes to the booster? I have not been able to get a good reading on this yet but plan on doing this once I can start car. But before I can get back to the brakes I have to reinstall my starter that went bad during this process. ( I had sleepy hollow in Canton Ga rebuilt my starter. $95, great people) I cant seem to fix things fast enough and stay ahead of the issues that come up. OLD CARS! lol

Car runs great. Never heard of the issue you mention Arnulfo? I spoke with Russ Martin during the rebuild and followed his advice, this never came up that I recall? It has been a while though.

Thanks for the information and advice Winston.
