gtx6970 OP Too Many Posts Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 21,406 It's a dry heat	Spent this morning dis-assembling 1/4 window glass and trim. The tinted glass had 71-74 trim on it,so I took all of the apart to transfer the 70 only trim that was on the clear glass but needs to be on the tinted glass going in the car. 70 is on the right and the later ones on the left 6334167-DSC00237.JPG (87 downloads) Last edited by gtx6970; 12/02/10 11:07 PM.

I've got Classic Air brackets on a small block, and it only uses one belt. It will squeel under load sometimes. Use 2 if you can.

Thanks fellas JD, I tried and would prefer 2 belts, BUT the pulley alignment makes that out of the question.It's one belt or nothing.

The vertical weatherstrip in this stainless steel moulding is unique to a 1970

If so what did you use, thanks Gavin, If your talking about the strip thats keeps the glass in the lower aluminum lift plate ? No , I just want to transfer the stainless trim from the leading edge to the tinted glass. btw, 3M makes a 2 part adhesive to attach the glass to the lift plate as well as the stainless trim Last edited by gtx6970; 12/07/10 11:01 PM.
