…I sure hope that was a Freudian slip — I said I had my ‘snowfield’ reservation at Carlisle — I sure hope that ‘show field’ is what I wound up with, not ‘snowfield’….in May…in PA???……….

@ Kent and Paul.  The bezel’s actually pry off from the bottom, but you do need to remove the light to see that.  Bulb looked fine, so it’s probably an electrical issue.

I’m in!  But, I gotta tell you – with this aging body,  it’s getting a trifle harder each year. 

I just got my room reserved and my Carlisle snowfield spot…See you all there!

pm edsnova  he had a good source of very flexible chrome trim for the  glove box 

Thanks for sharing.  I took out my not functioning radio, made a wooden box to fill in the hole and finished it with a stained oval wooden door.I used some chrome trim around the edge, but am not totally satisfied with how it looks. Now have a usable (if small) glove box like the originals.I’ll check at my local DIY for your solution.

Like many have already said, I’ve driven my car only a couple of times after dark. Like owls, bats and other night creatures, it seems speeding semi’s like the dark, and being the smallest car on the road becomes frightening. I hate driving in a fog (I saw a very bad multi car crash happen in the fog) even in my full size car, so would never…[Read more]

Great job all the way around!I am in awe of you guys who take on the challenge of making your own TDr’s. I don’t have the time, space and patience needed. That’s why I bought the one I did!:lol:

GeorgeDo you have a brand name or a manufacturer for the product. We do not have Ace hardware stores in Canada. I am replacing my dash and could use the product you have described to finish the edge

I second Paul’s suggestion. There’s likely a screw on the bottom, perhaps hidden by the mounting bracket. That’s how mine come apart. You have to remove it from the mounting bracket before you can remove the screw.KentT2016-01-27 12:57:03

I felt all around the chrome bezel and didn’t notice anything.

Looks same as what I have, they’re flat on the back.

Just guessing…Is there a screw, set screw or some other attachment on the bottom? Might even be hidden by the mounting bolts.

Discovered today that what I thought were plastic cased yellow foglights on my BCW are actually painted metal cased lights with chrome glass surrounds and then some sort of cheap looking plastic mesh front cover over the fronts.

It’s a British Coach Works 1.6 liter GM front engined TD.  Got it from a woman in West Jersey who enjoyed it for a couple of years.  Emissions/EPA stickers under the hood mention a 1987 date.

I did not find an entire thread.

At Kent T:  My jumper idea failed – popped the fuse.  At night it seems bright enough but I may look into a brighter LED bub.

Doug,Great looking wheels! What are they and where did you get them?Thanks,Andy

Very nice.  I might have to steal that idea.

Agree. Tring to use a jumper as originally mentioned ould backfeed the entire other circuit. If the brake light is not bright enough to satisfy you, try using a brighter bulb/LED array.
