Atta - boy!!
Do the dash back too if you still can. Wipe your wires with thinner-you may need to see wire colors and stripes.
Your droplight will love you.

ERA is sending out a new blank dash we will for sure paint it. I did not paint any exposed wires, just loom. Pictures are with flash -

Great idea -

But you knew that...
Hey-can I get an honorary team tee shirt??

We've been working on that (ERA fasteners for buttons) as it comes. Not on a hunt - anything we touch we convert. If there is more in that area, we may get it. If it is pulling from building - no. It's like scrubbing aluminum, you can spend a lot of time doing it. Overtime we will get it.

I don't use serts on everything. I have been working on ducting the radiator and there I tap the sheet and screw it together with 10- 32(?) button heads. There is a fair amount of fastener conversion involved with the Cooling and adjacent panels.

I've had some troubles with riv-nuts in aluminum panels, such as for the transmission tunnel to floor. Not sure if it's just some cheap riv-nuts or what. It took me about 3 times in and out with the tunnel before I finally had it fastened down. I kept having riv-nut inserts break off and I think I have one bad one now I'll have to replace the next time it's off. Kind of wished I had stuck with screws as I would have had it on in 20 minutes instead of 1-1/2 hours.
