Thanks Dan, I was getting the feeling it wouldn't be easy.

Hi Markus,

I believe I have an NOS ignition switch that is available. I will check it out this week after returning home.

Cheers!

How To's / Glad to hear! (Re: Code Z Steering Wheel Restoration, Spring Update.)

« Last post by elagache on May 18, 2025, 03:41:25 PM »

Hi Tony!

   Hi everyone, as I stated at the end of Part 3. I want to let you know that the Code Z was in a clean dry but not heated garage for the winter. We did get about a week of really cold weather in January. When I removed the GS from the garage last month the restored steering wheel still had the hairline crack, but it did not get worse. There were no new cracks anywhere. So I would say that this experiment was a 90% success so far.  . . . . .

That is great to hear!     These steering wheels are very unique and restoring them commercially has been expensive and a hassle.  I'm sure others will gladly take advantage of your technique now that it is proven!

Thanks for sharing!

   Next weekend Code Z will be on the show field at the Long Island Chapter BCA (50th Anniversary) all Buick Show along with my White GS Convertible.  I will post photos after the show....

Matt Martin kindly sent this.

Fremont car.

 

 That's one of them. There is also one towards the back. I recall a conversation about the two pieces.
Here's a picture of the two guides. The picture is from the thread where these were talked about.

Dag? Trying to find the thread mentioned here?
Those little fiddly engine pieces have their own thread?
Where??
