I am about a week overdue with this post, but here is the latest on the progress of re-doing the 4-speed shifter hump.<\/p>\n

Started by using magnets to hold it in place while I traced the opening on the bottom of the patch:<\/p>\n

\"img_2289\"<\/a> \"img_2290\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Compared it to one of the original pieces I kept when cutting it the first time:\"img_2291\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a lip that sticks out on the drivers side I needed to deal with.  So the fun begins with measuring, marking, and trimming:\"img_2292\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These metal marking pens are great!:\"img_2293\"<\/a> \"img_2294\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then spent a lot of time measuring, marking, and trimming little-by-little:\"img_2295\"<\/a> \"img_2296\"<\/a> \"img_2297\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was also marking on the shell the placement of the patch for a reference:\"img_2298\"<\/a> \"img_2299\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I was worried that I might have cut too much for the hump to rest on, so a quick trial fit:\"img_2300\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I had to bend and hammer the patch and floor so it was snug:\"img_2301\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I determined that the magnets wouldn’t do the job, so the plan is to rivet it in place, then patch in the shifter hump – riveting that in then using body adhesive next Spring with the rivets to complete the job.<\/p>\n

Now it is on to some pre-winter non-car projects, so the car work is on hold.  There won’t be a lot to do over the winter, but a little here-and-there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
