I'd like to get my 1970 AMX dash light to work again but the original is corroded beyond repair (see photo below). Do any of the vendors sell a kit to restore the metal portions? or am I forced to find a replacement via the "wanted" section? ------------- 1970 AMX Bayshore Blue 390 4-spd GoPac 1970 AMX Commodore Blue 390 4-spd GoPac |

You would be better off just to put a want out for a good 70 to 74 map light for Javelin. ------------- 71 Javelin SST body 390 69 crank, 70 block & heads NASCAR SB2 rods & pistons 78 Jeep TH400 w/ 2.76 Low 50/50 Ford-AMC Suspension 79 F150 rear & 8.8 axles Ford Racing 3.25 gears & 9" /w Detroit locker |

...and then install an LED! Those things seem to die from heat. The contacts aren't great to begin with, the high resistance adds heat. "Festoon base". Love that weird name. ------------- 1960 Rambler Super two-door wagon, OHV auto 1961 Roadster American, 195.6 OHV, T5 http://www.ramblerLore.com |
