Parts Wanted / Re: chrome trim recommendations

« Last post by Aussie Skylark on May 02, 2024, 04:51:05 PM »

Hi Jim,

Yes, front and back window moldings.

I'm missing a door trim as well just not sure what side is missing at the moment.

One of my front spears is in bad condition, again I'm not sure what side, I've pulled them out of storage this week and realized damage and missing parts.

I did it cold after a Google search. Compression is fine.

Hey, Tony....

I bought NOS blades from a guy on ebay. Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303859876144?itmmeta=01HWXD6JXKCTJ70026J08A702S&hash=item46bf75c130:g:HAkAAOSw9CtdFS47

I don't know if your blades are a different style, but you might try Jegs or Summit for OER product like this: https://www.jegs.com/i/OER/691/3819074/10002/-1

Don't know if they'd fit....

Good luck!

Chuck

Okay, I am getting older and my memory isn’t as good as it used to be, so I have a question. I am going to do a compression test on a 1965 Buick 300/355 engine but don’t remember if I should do it warm or cold. I have the tester but haven’t done a compression test in probably 12 years.

  Good Morning Chuck, yesterday I attempted to install new wiper blades and quickly found out that the 15 inch refill blades I purchased years ago do not fit ! Then I remembered that there was a set of new refill blades in the box of parts that came with the code Z GS, so I picked them up. And sure enough it was a set of Anco U-15R refills that fit without any problems... Do you know if there are any current 15 inch part numbers that will fit our wipers ? I would like to update the refills on the other Two Gran Sports. I looked up the Anco number on the internet, the number is obsolete.

Hi Buick Fans,

Does anyone have, or recommend where I can get chrome trim for the front and rear screens for my 65?

Thanks

   Hi Jim, Thanks, Yesterday I test fitted the horn bar on the wheel and it fit perfectly. I was going to install the wheel, but then I thought, maybe I will wait until all my work is done and the Upholsterer installs the headliner and all the interior work is done so the wheel does not get scratched !  And sure enough today I installed the wiper arms, and when I turned the wiper switch on it did not work ! So that's on the tomorrow to-do list to diagnose & fix. So I will probably be under the dashboard again. And not having the steering wheel in the way makes it easier to move around.
    The fun continues....
