Re:[Chevelle-list] Off List Topic
Good luck John ! Ciao André For all to know, I will not be reading the list for a couple of days. My family and myself are getting out of Dodge, oops I said the D word. We are leaving town, running to higher ground, to get away from Hurricane IVAN. Wish us luck in that we still have a home, in one piece, to come home to after all is said and done. Once all this is done I hope that Cruisin' the Coast will be just as much fun as it has for me the past two years. Having everyone stop and talk to me about my Chevelle and also how a lot of people say that they also had a Chevelle back when. That to me is the most fun of all especially when you see the look in some people's eyes when they see the car. I will be leaving it here. locked up in a garage with the windows boarded up and covered up. Talk to y'all later John L. ACES #5597 70 LS5 TRIBUTE http://chevellfan.com/index89.html

RE: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash Lighting
So the sockets fit right in to the back of the 69 dash? How were they grounded? Have any pics? J I just spent some time trying different methods. I took two metal brackets from hell and bent out the spades, then placed them in the sockets. I took another two metal brackets from hell and spread some glue (albeit not the highest adhesive but pretty damn good) on the spades and then placed them in the sockets. I let them sit for 10 minutes. I came back, placed bulbs in all four sockets. I came back in 5 minutes and found that every single one had at least some movement (1/4 of the way out). One of the glued ones had came all the way out and one of the bent ones came ½ the way out (one spade completely out). Anyone know of any aftermarket place that makes replacement sockets? I do not want to be afraid every time I take off my dash bezel that I am going to lose a bulb and have to dismantle everything. Even if the spades are glued, bent, nailed, stapled, welded, melded, etc I would still have the thought in the back of my head.

Some I used super glue on the spades. The ones that were real bad, I found a wiring harness from a 75 corvette and spliced the sockets with a length of wire on my harness.

I just spent a few hours putting my dash in, taking it out (getting the bulbs came out), putting it back in, taking it back out (getting the bulbs that came out) , you get the picture. I was thinking of using some contact cement on the little spade connectors that go down into the holder. I think the bulbs fall out when that thing gets loose Any ideas? And if anyone know who the engineer was who designed those things, send him my way. Thanks, JB
Re: [Chevelle-list] Off List Topic
good luck john hope you come though without a scratch, dont think i could leave my baby home alone,
Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash Lighting
JB is it did not know it was a new harness try cutting a few links out of the spring that might help or better yet try useing alittle heat like a soldering iron heat the spring up might make it weaker, i have always rebuilt my harnesses, so i have not had the same problems you are having , it sounds like a defective sockits or poorly design one , what does the manufacturer have to say about it , im sure the person that design it never had his head under a dash before,, good luck jim
Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 tach
