Thank you, Howard! Mine is to the rear so definitely reversed. I’ll have to very carefully jumper the motor in the proper direction to try to reverse it.

I got the seals from Steele Rubber. They appear to fit, I just need to figure a good way to get them on without messing everything up.

That is a good question, it is tight.
Do you have new seals? Where did you, or are you going to, get them from? Probably a future project for my 53 career Cavalier.

I am planning on redoing the weatherstrip on my 1954 Cavalier. Are there any suggestions for the best way to mount the hinge pillar strip for the rear doors. I am having trouble seeing how to do this properly without removing the door. Thank you

Parking brake cable does come fairly close but should not touch. The important thing to look for is where the transverse bars are positioned because they can reverse if something goes amiss in the electrical. If that happens and compensator manages to escape damage TL works backwards as far as raising and lowering.
Here is a birds eye or top down view of the compensator and transverse bars. Note the sort of "V" shape cast into the connecting lever at bottom of compensator. The V should point to the passenger side which would place the short drivers side bar at the front of compensator and long passenger side bar at the rear.

That was probably my fault as in my original reply I said Restoration Supply instead of Restoration Specialties.

You want to some insulation around the edges of the toe board before reinstalling. I uses a heat high rated self adhesive type strip insulation.

I’m under the car today for another task and while it’s high up on stands for the afternoon I thought I would also check into the TL issue. Does the crank look out of place? I don’t want to try to power-reverse it until I’m sure. Maybe hard to tell in this photo but the parking brake cable goes to the rear toward the bottom of the photo and is currently touching the crank. I would look back at earlier comments but no WiFi and my cellular is virtually nonexistent so I hope this even posts!

So I am going to remove the fitting from the old and then solder onto the new one. Think that’s the easiest route.
That’s the next thing I need to solve before I can finish up the gas tank and then move to the exhaust. So moved onto to some other things. Put the grommet and hose connector to the tank. Cleaned up 86 years of gunk from the rear shocks/springs. Painted the toe board Removed the headlights but had to spray special sauce on the nuts to get the stanchions removed. Time for dinner
