Brass drift. I couldn't find anything like it at any retail store until I went to a local metal store and bought two solid brass bars. One 1" diameter, one 1/2" diameter.

Same here. Bought some round stock at the local steel yard...

Solid copper would, but not pipe.

Wow, my 78 dash panel has OEM Toshiba 158 bulbs in it. (after finding my reading glasses to see the number!)

Sears sells sets of brass drifts.

NAPA sells them here. A serious car parts store (the one the professional mechanics use) should do the same in Oz.

I have had good luck using a steel chisle(sp?) just tap at an angle, so the point of the chisle is forcing the cone washer out, and it will pop the cone washers right out. no need for lots of hammering

 

[bad_religion_au]

yep, i'm in aus.

 

[bad_religion_au]

doh. someone could have told me that the globe seperates from the little plastic holder... no wonder the parts guy couldn't get them...

 

[lone gunman]

use 194 bulbs the old factory one are rated at like 3watts or so, the 194's are rated at like26 or 36 i dont remember exactly but the parts guy can tell you, also if you have'nt done the dash light bulb fix yet, thats in the tech section you might try it. it makes a huge diferance at night.
