Was on BAT last week, bid to $18500 RNM.

I’m dealing with a serious family problem that has put this on the back burner for the immediate future. Not life and death but serious attention needed for a while. the tires are more than 10 years old so I doubt any reputable tire place will remount them. I was planning on new tires then mounting the covers but needed to see which wheels I have since the recent discussions about stud length and wheel width.

Hopefully weather this weekend permits me to get a final determination on this. I'll try both ways of measuring and see they match.

Ed, so bottom of center hole to rim edge measurement corresponds to wheel width? Caliper won't work because it isn't the same plane?

Thanks. You both have confirmed what I suspected was the best answer. Next step is to remove a wheel from the car and do the test fit again with access to the back of the wheel for easiest confirmation of the wheel width. Then decide about changing studs vs changing wheels.

I have a set of 64 restored Turbines that have the studs for 6" wheels. I took a spare 5.5" and a 6" wheel cover to test fit and it looks like the 5.5" was correct for my car, without removing the tire to actually measure the wheel width. I am leery of trying to remove the studs and replace with either the 5.5" ones or other similar solutions. For those that have added these did it really matter which stud/wheel combo you have? I'd hate to mess up the restored set by mounting the 6" caps on 5.5" wheels.

That happened to me on Firefox, was wondering the same thing.

Anyone else getting secure attachments from rivsrgr8@aol.com? Unsigned and unsolicited very vague email directing to sharepoint with a .de address non secured website, in Germany.

What is the Vin on the car's title and does it match either of those numbers?

Mine showed up this week in Chicagoland. I've had a few things take a while lately.

I'm working with Gene to get 10 sent to me in the Chicago area. Will have more details next week. Gene's no whining rule will be firmly in place.

I could be the Chicago area drop spot for anyone interested. Further shipping or meet up could be arranged.

That's what I was thinking, ship 3 to us and we can get them divided up here. My zip is 60048.

Gene, I'm near enough toTom, maybe ship 3 at the same time?

ROA, Riviera Owners, already cancelled their meet in June. No good answer with all the uncertainty and actually no bad ones today. I have already seen one of my daughter's summer programs cancelled and another on hold for a month. I've faced similar situations with having to cancel large events due to weather related issues and having thousands disappointed. For me decision time was as soon as we could determine there was no alternative. I don't know when the hotels need a commitment for Sept, but that would be the decision deadline unless it was determined prior to cancel for 2020.

65 is different than the 64. The switch label is manufactured on the plate in a 64, I have all 3. I believe in 65 the label is part of the switch assm not the plate. 64 base shown.

😀😀

Thanks that is what I was looking for. I have the major parts, not the special footswitch. I'm not real concerned about it working, mostly using it to cover the holes from the dash mounted tach.

While I've thoroughly enjoyed this discussion on Guidematic's, I still need the help with the paint finish, guessing somewhere between flat and satin? I'm not planning on mine being operable, if it is great. I have a dash mounted factory tach and I need it to cover the holes in the dash when I move it to either the ashtray or or under dash where the cruise control is usually mounted..

The one I got was dark brown that why I need to paint it. Flat black??????

Just picked up a 64 guidematic set up but I need to paint it to match my interior, white and black, black dash. Does anyone know the right black paint I need to use? Not real worried about working, I know I need a different foot switch, more to replace tach on dash.

I wonder how old those bias ply tires are?

I have a 64 radio version along with the standard promo.

64 Electra tail panel. No lock, a few pits. Bought for a long gone 64 Electra conv. Shipping cost from 60048 and it's yours.

No part numbers but believed to be large car convertible early 6o's. Bought for a long gone 64 Electra conv. Not sure if they were correct for it or not. Shipping cost from 60048 and it's yours.
