Thanks men I thought it might be a bit more complicated than that, I will pick up some Teflon liquid tomorrow.

My 390 is leaking oil from the thread on the oil pressure sender, I have removed the sender and it is made of steel and the housing is alloy. There is no sign of any sealing tape or product to seal it. The housing is not cracked and in near new. Some advice on the correct way to install the sender a...

Looks good Chopper, but a word of warning for others. Caustic is bad firstly for human flesh (really bad) and secondly it will eat alluminium or the cast pot metal (your plate is made from) if left for any lemgth of time. Used with respect though it is a good friend for the restorer. JMO. Correct n...

It looks like every vert console is a one off
looks like i will have to buy myself a nibbler, yep in my own mind i have just justified buying another tool. :rotfl:

Thanks Scott and mike a paper template should do the job, I pick up the console on Saturday and will spend a few weeks refurbing before I will need the template.
Not a easy thing to find a 68 console and not cheap either.

I have purchased a second hand 68 console and was told i would have to cut it because mine is a vert, is this right?? do you have to modify the base to fit a vert? and if correct does anyone have a template.
Chopper

The side windows on my 68 needs restoration,i would like to restore the glass as it is original glass.
Is it hard to do myself? If not what products/ kit do i need? Or am i kidding myself to try to do myself
Is there a company in north of melbourne that does this work?
