Bill Stoneberg Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Does anyone reproduce the plastice Dynaflow shift indicators from the 1950's era ?Mine is so badly abused (someone took an ice pick to it) that it unacceptable to use.Does anyone have just the plastic that they want to sell ?

Fr. Buick Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I have wondered about that, and thought that a trophy or engraving shop that does clear plastic could at least come close. I've managed to find decent ones for my '54, so have not tried this possibility myself. Either that or keep looking for a good one!Fr.

Guest Andynator Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Bill,Try looking through the links section at:http://www.prewarbuick.com/index.htmThere's a company listed that repairs and re-produces badges. I'd think the insert would be along those lines.Andy'49 56C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Bill, There is a shift indicator plastic on ebay that is from a 1951 but I think they are the same. Check it out.Elwood.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...;category=34206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 Elwood,Thanks for alerting me to this piece. I have bought it.I wonder if there is a market for this piece ? Enough to have a coupleof dozen reproduced ?Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Bill,I have seen several of these plastic pieces and all of them have been in good shape after they were cleaned up. From my observations I wonder if your original piece was unusually damaged or if the ones I have seen are not typical.

Bill Stoneberg Posted January 30, 2003 Author Share Posted January 30, 2003 It looks like someone took an ICe Pick to it.It was scratched beyond repair. I tried buffing it like I would with lenses and all it did was get the scratches so they stood out more.I found one at a junkyard but couldn't figure out how to get it out of the holder.

Bill Stoneberg Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 I got tired of looking for a good indicator (read, on that would be good enough for my picky standards). I took my old one down to the local FastSign location and they made me a few of them. They look great.If anyone needs a brand new one, let me know as they have saved the design for me.The picture doesn't do it justice but the platic is crystal clear and fits into the holders nicely.If you are redoing the chrome holder, you need this piece.
