Guest mikeyschopshop Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 First Post - lemme know if I did something wrong I am in need of 3 pieces for my 63 Riv dash assembly. I need the trim plate that covers the heater control levers. The lens for the lamp above the glove box. And the cover that is on the bottom of the dash to the right of the steering column. Pictures of (missing) parts below. Any help is appreciated !!- Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mikeyschopshop Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks Rex - any color will do of course. I couldn't find the lens on CARS website - I'll call them and see if I missed it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REX STALLION Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 CARS page 54 online catalog item# ml635. I do have a plastic cover but it has a couple of cracks. If you want it , pay the postage and it`s yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Mikey,Don't forget that when you're looking for some parts, such as your missing cover for the heater controls, that these parts were universal for all big model Buicks for a couple of years. You're not limited to Riviera only stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Here's a picture of a '64 Electra that someone on the V8Buick.com site has access to. The piece you're looking for is lying on the floor board in this picture.EdV8Buick.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeyschopshop Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 RivNut - Thanks for the tip. I went to the V8Buick forum and got a bunch of responses. It appears that they made several variations of these. All of the ones that people have offered do not have the openings for the vent controls on the right side - just like the one in the picture you provided. This may be something that is specific to Riviera?!?! Dunno. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If the car is not equipped with a/c the vents are controlled from that dash panel. If the car is equipped with a/d the slots on the right control the a/c and the vents are opened with a knob under the dash. The slots should be the same for an a/c car and a non a/c car. The only difference in some of the pieces is a place for a rotary dial shaft to come through.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
