I changed my clutch/flywheel this past weekend on my 97 Trans Am. I had a little trouble getting the center console out and decided that punching it with my fist would be helpful. It wasn't. When I punched it, I hit the ashtray lid and broke one of the hinges on the ashtray lid. Now it it sits crooked and won't stay shut while driving.
The interior of the car is tan leather and the console is that typical 4th gen gray plastic. Anyone have one of these FS? |

Actually, I did something very similar once I saw how expensive and hard to find it was going to be.
I, too, drilled out the place where the broken pin was, chose a nail that was the same diameter of the pin, cut the nail to length, inserted it through the hole leaving the nailhead on the inner part and then used epoxy to secure the nailhead to the lid. I actually didn't try to install it yet but I too think that this is stronger than stock... Just the same, thanks for the tip. |
