Well, big disappointment on the NOS tilt levers. While the chrome is better than the repop I bought, the black end looks similar with a more rounded head and matte finish black plastic instead of the original gloss black plastic.

On the copper plated bolts, it doesn't seem that the copper plating we're be necessary just to establish a ground. I can't think of any other grounds on these cars that require a copper connection.

Are they copper plated or actually copper bolts? They could be designed as shear bolts to break and allow the column to move away from the driver in a front end impact.

A guy does make the Decals. Not sure your going that route. The defog switches are hard to find. Is the defogger same as a 77? 78 there was a change. I have the bulletin. And a mint 78 style, dongman.

Thanks, but "78 is different. The switch I have has a great face, but it is burned up as can be seen on the back side.
