Looks just great James. Thanks for the updates.

My thots on repros: the company &quot;attempting&quot; a repro makes the conscious effort [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] to first determine the total number of ways they will deviate from a correct original piece and then they multiply that by a factor of at least 7. That way they ensure that the piece will only look like it could possibly fit so that they get the poor unsuspecting sap to buy the worthless piece of sh*t. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

There - that feels better now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

The problem is that the person approving the prototype for production never has to use the piece.

Original Dated Floor Pan Plugs


are my floor plugs installed upside down??..or is this an optical illusion and the plug just 'looks' to be protruding upward?? </div></div>

Re: 1969 Z28 Restoration
 
No illusion, it's protruding &quot;UP&quot;.
