My trip odometer failed 21 miles in to the trip from the body shop. Every thing else kept working,speed ,tenths and actual miles but the trip quit.Any Ideas any one? Brian

Dale I did finally get a photo of my car up.The one above yours on recient photos.How is your interior?Is it code 71 or 71a??

I think he bought those too

Dale, the material we used is Item #ws-mat014 48 masticated rubber matting. from Restoration Specialities. It is not exact but its close as I could find.I have been trying to post a new photo of my car but have been unable to do so.my car is also Vailent Green.Fresh out of the shop,as of the 13th of feb.I still need seat work.

I will see what I can come up with.I will ask my restorer.Since he did the work. Brian

Hi, I used some rubberized canvas I got from Restoration specialities & supply.Looked just like the original.(Well what was left of it.) Brian

Obviously you arnt going to put Ten tons of the stuff(RTV) on the gasket but that cork gasket will not get much squeze on it.Straight surfaces or not.ANY over torque on it and you are done start over.Make or buy a new gasket.(tough out of cork.)Dont get me wrong i am no fan of RVT,However when I have a expert tell me it is ok, and other experts say no. this gets confusing.It is specifyed 48 hour cure time.If any of the cork gets in there it wont do much good either.

Hi every one,Gary Russell of packard tips in #4 says to use RTV but to wait 48 hours before filling to let it cure.This guy must have been working on Packards for some time and he hasn't mentioned any failures.What gives.
