Parking Brake Switch Issues

[william]

Why is that considered an insult? I have worked on cars owned by smart, successful people happy to pay others to do what they can't-or don't want to.

Some thin-skinned people here.

Nobody knows everything. Each of us has ability that varies. I try to be nice (doesn’t always come across that way though). I figure if I answer questions to a few things I know - hopefully I might get help later on.

Well it seems to be GTG, Here are the finished photos. As you can see, it was worth the effort to try and save it. It's a clean mirror.

Victory always Love a 749 trimmed 68!

Thanks gents. You guys make me look good.

[David K]

No Chuckman…that mirror makes YOU look good. So what glue did you use to hold the glass? You showed us the disassembly, what about the assembly? Somebody out there will probably do this to their car.

[Chuck-68-Cam]

Thanks Dave. There was not much involved in assembly, just cleaned and applied IMPERIAL High-Temp Sealant. Now how long the fix applied last, will have to wait and see.

[David K]

We won’t make that decision, Scott Drake will. Got a picture of that imperial stuff? I also assume you out it in all 4 post? And I found out how to put a signature on my posts….all because of this thread.
What’s next for the car?

[Chuck-68-Cam]

Yea, I applied silicon to all four posts this time. Picture of silicon below.

What's next, Not sure really. I am thinking getting the front and rear windows resealed. Whoever did it the last time should stick to their day job. Hopefully it's not already his day job or that would be really bad. See pictures. Front seal is leaking on trans so that is on the list also. Those are 2 things that I will be farming out.

Things I am going to do is replace the kick panels. I found a really clean pair for $125.00 shipped on ebay.

The flaps on mine are horrible, and they also cut horrible looking holes in them for speakers. I think I am going to pull the console back out. AMP gauge does not work and the bulbs on all 4 barely illuminate the gauges. I also have one gremlin to track down, interior light does not come on when door is opened.

I bought this in late June, and though July I have done the following..
Installed a new shifter (wrong one was installed)
Installed new Shifter cable
Installed new console (old one was chopped up to fit the wrong shifter)
Installed console gauges
Installed Tic-Toc-Tach with new circuit film
Installed new console harness (to support the gauges and low fuel)
Installed under-dash harness  (to support the gauges and low fuel)
Installed both under hood Harnesses (HEI ready)
Installed low fuel light and the warning lens
Installed Tach filter for Tic-Toc-Tach
Installed hood liner
Installed new parking lamps up front
Installed glovebox lamp
Installed trunk mat
Installed driver door window guides
Installed rear window package tray and liner
Installed rear seat-Trunk divider and insulation
Installed new kickdown harness
Installed period looking USA-230 radio and four speakers

The nice part is that with all the work I did, everything works. From all the posts I thought I was going to have a hard time with the Tach and low fuel, but they are right on the money.

[David K]

Well done on that list. I surmise that reply #12 does not apply to you, or 99% of the people on this site.

[Chuck-68-Cam]

No, not at all. I was a mechanic for some 26 years. ASE certified in brakes, suspension and electrical. I even had my own shop for 3 years until the bank sold the property without even letting me make an offer. After that I managed a Meineke for 7 years. So, I know my way around. It's the Camaro specifics that you see I need help on.

[David K]

I also have credentials but don’t need to shove them into peoples faces. And nobody knows everything.
I just linked your mirror repair to Camaros.net because someone needs to fix their mirror before they sell the car.
