vicpanza Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Two steps forward and three back. Well, was cleaning the mounting clip on the windshield regulator and decided to soak the mechanism in some Evapo-Rust to clean the gear. After about an hour, I noticed that the tape had come apart. Prior to putting it in the solution, it appeared to be in good condition. Was kind of surprised, and now really have a set back. Might anyone know if this part is being repoed, or might you have one in your parts box. Balance of mechanism is in good condition. I glass-beaded the mounting clip and then tumble polished it to clean it up. Put a fresh coat of lacquer on it once done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You probably were not the cause of the fractures. It is common for those to fall apart. I believe there is a reproduction available. You might search this forum in the "search" part at the upper portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdome Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) If it is not available it could probably be reproduced at a local fabrication shop or even be made by yourself if you're so inclined.
