Heater Control Lense

1 Attachment(s)

Is there any place I can pick one of these bad boys up? Mine's a bit cloudy and since I am taking painstaking details on restoring things I hate to put this back in looking like this...

Re: Heater Control Lense

I drilled out the rivets... the plan is to rivet it back in place... haven't tried the toothpaste trick - but it's not cloudy normal cloudy... the previous owner had "primed" the interior of the cab .... I suspect maybe he used chemical stripper or something in there because the surface of the plastic is literally pitted - the lense in the instrument cluster was in similar disarray... I picked up a new lense for the cluster - was just hoping someone had a line on a repop. I'll post in the WTB section...

Wet sand and buff it. Riveting may crack the edges before the rivet pops.
