Re: [Chrysler300] F parts

[MRS954@xxxxxxx]

 Gil and all,
I bought reproduced heel pad metal pieces a few years ago when I built my H. I don't recall who from, but they are very well made and look like originals. I bought the rubber pieces from Gary Goers. I'll look around for the info on the vendor. I can send a picture of them if anyone is interested.
Also, to remove the annodizing from the aluminum console strips, use easy off oven cleaner. Then sand them, polish them, clean the compound off with acetone, and then clear coat them with clear lacquer.

Regards,
Mark Souders

Hi Johnnie and All:
Gary Goers reproduces the "ribbed" 300F-H console tops.  I used his in  my F. 
 Quite pleased with them.  Did have to relocate two of the holes  for the 
aluminum trim strip attachement bolts.  They come as straight  pieces, but with 
care, they bend to the correct shape fine.  It would be  impossible to restore 
most console tops because they are commonly very  scratched.
For the AL strips, I used Ano-Brite, Inc in California to do my  originals.  
Cost at that time (3/06) was $450.  Again, I was quite  pleased, although 
there were a couple deep defects that were not filled, and  consequently still 
visible.  They have apparently changed ownership or  something, as the web site 
I 
had is no longer applicable.  The one  referenced is now: 
_http://www.kingoftrim.com/_ (http://www.kingoftrim.com/) 
I don't know how anyone could restore the heel plates without  
removing---sanding I suppose---large amouts of metal.  Obviously, they are  
always full of 
deep scratches.  (I haven't installed any yet in my  car!)  There was someone 
at the Asheville meet that was going to reproduce  them, and actually had a 
sample there, but I never heard of those plans  materializing.
300ly, Gil C.
