AWESOME!! That is exactly what I did to the black RS/Z individually took items off cleaned preserved and reinstalled... it makes all the difference in how the car presents itself.

BTW the plates inside the stacks are black anodized... which is really a deep black violet color, having them re-anodize is inexpensive however if you flip them over and swap them side to side all they need is the center peg holes re-drilled (not visible when installed) to work without doing anything and still having the original finish.


There I go giving away trade secrets... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

IT looks GREAT... what you are doing is what I found so rewarding about the Black RS/Z... there is nothing that looks as good as a well cared for or correctly cleaned and preserved survivor.

Use a left handed drill bit, same section as the EASY OUTS!
