Destin,
Those are the cleanest looking pop riveted and bolted patches I've ever seen!No, seriously, they are, someone put a lot of effort into that.
That area of the wheel well is very unusual to me to be a victim of rot. Usually it's in the area of the double wall supports that it starts to go. I would not do aftermarket replacement pieces there, you can find decent used ones that you can cut to fit and weld in.
Rear channel is another story, do your homework on those before you buy. I made mine, from what Iv'e heard that's about the same as getting the replacements to work.
Turn signal switch is clamped on. you can see the slot in the bottom of the housing. There is a phillips (probably frozen) that is in the bottom, perpendicular to the shaft. Loosen the screw, open the slot a little, and it should slide over the end of the column. I believe the turn signal shaft comes with it and isn't attached at the switch. (Could be the other way around though........it's been quite a few years)
Thanks man
I think i wait too see what the story is once they media blast the wheel well area like you mentioned. Might be ok with a little cosmetic work
However if someone has a hacked up tub around that year that wants to sell me those 2 bits of metal let me know
As for the indicator assembly, seems pretty rigid, i did remove the bolt.
The turn signal shaft came off pretty easy however like you mentioned.
It seems as though i need to remove that big bearing metal bit in order to remove the indicator assembly from the steering shaft...
Yeah, no?
I am hesitant to force anything as i do not want anything to break
// edit
It actually slipped right over with a little persuasion, thanks for the heads up man!
