QUESTION
Hi Burt, The steering wheel crystal will not fit
the opera lamps. Chrysler was selling a plastic crystal that was on other
makes, they may still have them, but they do not have the Cartier logo. I have
re-glued original crystals with black RTV sealant and haven't lost one yet. I
do have a couple of used sets of the original "Cartier Crystals" .

QUESTION
I am restoring a 1982 Imperial. I have three 1981-1983
Imperials - one project car and two parts cars. None of the three cars have
the crystal pentastar on the exterior opera lights on the "B" pillar. A
friend who has two 1981-1983 Imperials says they were glued on and have all
fallen off - and new parts are not available.
What I am thinking about doing is glueing the crystal
pentastar from the steering wheel horn pad to the opera lights. I think it
will fit and I have two of those pentastars. The question is what glue
should I use? I am thinking about "gorilla" glue because I am impressed by
their advertising claims.
Any thoughts on my proposal?
Burt
