Guest Lowrider70 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Has anyone got a multi-coloured (Red, White and Blue), 'Tri-Shield' trunk lock and latch assembly for my '65 Riv? Or know where I can get one from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick91914 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) I have two NOS tri-shield covers. One for my current car and one for my next. I paid $200 each over 10 years ago. I may have a nice used, but it would have no key. If you want a something close to NOS, you may want to try emblemagic, they can make a repro tri-shield insert if you have a core. I've seen their work and it's top notch. That's what I would do if I didn't have NOS. Here's what NOS looks like: Edited July 25, 2009 by Patrick91914 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gungeey Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 If you are an ROA member there's an article in an early magazine written by Ray Knott detailing refurbishing your own. Here's a pic of one I did myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive already contacted Emblemagic and, they said they do not reproduce enameled or cloisonne emblems - but I would only need the actual insert......and I pressume the insert is only made of plastic?? Anyway, Ive emailed them again and pointed out, that Im really only interested in the 'Tri-Shield' insert itself. So I still waiting to hear back. By the way, where did you get your NOS items from? And I would be interested in your used one......any chance of a couple of pics?? Thanks.

To me, that is most of the car's most important details to get perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gungeey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 In a nutshell, scrape out the old paint from the backside of the plastic (it's removed by wedging back on the tabs, which are revealed after undoing the rivet/s..(it's been a whil) Our librarian will know exactly which article we're talking about I'm sure!

RivNut Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Lowrider70 (name withheld???) Now that you've joined the ROA, one of the best weapons you can have for any future questions you may have would be to purchase ($25) the CD that has the first 18 years of the Riview captured on it. It includes about 2,220 articles with an index for them as well as about the same number of pictures. With that CD and a factory service manual, you'll have answers to any questions you come up with.

Guest Lowrider70 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 ED, thanks for your reply... ...my name withheld is it? Something in 'profile settings' that I may have unwittingly done?? Anyway, I can see the CD you're refering to, pictured near the back of the Review, along with other ROA merchandise. But where can I find a Factory Service Manual from? Maybe an Owner's Manual too? And is payment for items only through 'snail mail', or is there an option where you can pay online? Thanks.Ned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ned,There are vendors in the Riview classifieds who can sell you a chassis manual or they appear on ebay every so often. I know that you can pay for membership in the ROA with PayPal but I don't know about the other ROA stuff for sale. Perhaps one of the board members will read this and respond.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you buy the Review CD, or anything else... and how did you pay? Well anyway, I cannot see anywhere in the Review where there's the option of purchasing ROA merchandise over the net... unless someone else knows differently??However, I will take another closer look and thanks all the same.

NEW1966 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) This is all that I have. There is a very small tip at the end of the post that is broken off. I believe it keeps the spring from turning on the post. Otherwise, it is in perfect condition. As stated earlier, great for parts.$199.95GT Rfd, Ill.BCA # 11974 Edited July 31, 2009 by NEW1966 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) I looked at the ROA website and didn't see any listing for the ROA items nor did I see a way to pay for those items via PayPal. That page in the Riview mentions only Check, MO, or credit card. I imagine not offering PayPal is a way to save fees. I don't have the CD; but I do have the complete collection of every Riview. (It's actually 24 years in the ROA, 3 years on the AACA forum.) I have the printed index, it used to be the 7th issue of the Riview, from the last year it was published and it pretty well covers everything. If you're not aware of it, the ROA originally started out as an oranization for '63 - '65 owners only - I still have one of the original 63-65 window stickers in my '63. Lots of info on those cars was published in the early years. There are '65s listed in the classified section of the Riview for parts; have you contacted any of those sellers yet? Lots of guys sell stuff who don't participate in these forums.Ed Edited July 31, 2009 by RivNut (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lowrider70 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Pardon me Ed... you're a very long-standing ROA member! I just looked in the left hand column, where brief user details are and commented without thinking......that although someone is registered on a forum, this may not be a true indication of the validity of their club/association membership - or for the length of time as a member.And yes, I would of thought that from the birth of the ROA, it was an organisation purely for '63-'65 owners... they were afterall, the first generation Rivs!I'd like to obtain as much info on my year of car as I can. And if I purchase that CD, then Im hoping it will save me trying to source all of those early issues! Yes, I have already been in contact with a few of those guys who advertise in the back of the Review. And I am slowly finding bits and pieces that I need! Ned.
