(center of switch hole to reference point of your choosing) I will be in need of this info also. Thanks! Last edited by mr_belvedere; 09/01/10 11:11 PM.

Those 2 screws are just short & screw directly into the plastic dash. The switch comes in from the backside of the metal & I could see one of what looked more like a bolt-type head, screw. You couldn't replace the switch without the plastic dash being out of the way first because there's no way to get to the screws that hold it. Anyway, the switch is definitely bolted to the metal and there has to be at least a 3/4- 1" hole for the lever to come through.

The 2 holes on the plastic dash cover are just for the plastic "air Grabber" bezel. If you don't have a map light your car will have a metal block off plate. I may have an extra.

PM me if you want to save on the PG repro price and go with an original as shown.. 6176482-solenoid.jpg (76 downloads)

NOT on the outside between the metal frame and plastic bezel. The bezel mounts to the plastic using two more screws. Where does the solenoid go? Terry I could take you up on the offer, but now I only need the solenoid. How do you tell if used ones work? *CHECK OUT MY NEW WEB SITE !*

Yes Where does the solenoid go? Close to ashtray, again can't see up there very well. I would think a FSM would show it

Seatbelt and reverse. Could this be possible? It looks factory but someone told me that Seat belt would only be 71 and up? 6177001-24.JPG (39 downloads)

I've never seen a used one fail unless one of the plastic tabs is broken or the wiring lets go. More chance of Sum Yung Gy building them overseas for PG Classic not putting one together right. You'll also need a fitting like this on the engine. 6177153-fitting.jpg (38 downloads)

mccannix master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 4,784 Ontario, Canada	On this closer view of the dash frame that JMCFAN supplied you can see the two screw holes on the frame by the large round opening. That is where the switch is screwed onto. Only two of the 4 holes on the switch body, the recessed ones, are used. Just to the right of that about 6 inches and a bit lower, you can see the two screw holes where the solenoid is screwed to. A 70 solenoid has a green 18" wire with a spade connector that goes down to the fuse box bottom. Not that it applies here, but a 71-72 solenoid is attached to the switch body via an angled metal bracket and has a bullit male end on the green wire that plugs into a 3 outlet yellow female harness plug 6177211-panel.jpg (41 downloads)

You'll also need a fitting like this on the engine. On my rr that manifold fitting has the large central vac nipple for pb & the small side one, not the 2, 5/16" nipples. Wonder what a non-pb car fitting looked like?

(bomb) Does your car have some sort of "Deluxe" seat beat option.. I'm not sure. The car came without the belts and there is no build sheet. Nothing special is designated on the fender tag except buckets with console.

I believe (but not sure) you would get the seat belt light with the deluxe belts. This is the only RR Covert I have seen with deluxe belts. 6177506-RADIO.jpg (50 downloads)

The bodywork on the entire rear half of the exterior is done.
