This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1970 gs shifter support plate

Discussion in 'U-shift em' started by Buickcub, Feb 14, 2009.

    I think mine may have the wrong plate or shifter on it. Not all the holes line up. The top one is the one that does not line up with the transmission. Shifter has 1090211P on it. Does anyone have a listing to see if this is the correct part number?

    Thanks

    Yes it does. The top left hole in your picture is not lining up. Also what type screw goes in the middle hole. Mine has a hex and it is a bear to get out.
    Thanks!

    Scott,

    Are those brackets available replated as shown in your pic? I want one that looks that nice and I don't want to have the car "down" while I wait to have mine replated. Where can I buy one?

    Thanks!

    Try a local plater. If you do not want to do this try:

    www.thepartsplaceinc.com or call Dave Kleiner in Wisconsin. Look up his number by using the search key above.

    I suspect when TPP says gold he may be using that term loosely meaning the color. It is not gold in the sense of use of that element. So I think the choices are:

    Zinc dichromate (gold iridite) http://www.detailplating.com/zd.htm or

    Cadmium with a supplemental dichromate process to give it the gold iridesence.

    Plating thickness is also a factor.

    I had some gas mass spec tests done on some pieces and those were the choices. But I did not on this particular piece.

    "How To Tell Zinc Dichromate From Gold Cadmium

    This is an easy one - you can't ! That is, unless you take your part to a metallurgical lab and have it tested on a special piece of equipment. These two coatings will appear identical to the naked eye because although they have different base platings (Cadmium -vs- Zinc), the final coating is the same type - Dichromate. So, if you're going to re-plate an item you believe was originally Gold Cad, why not go for the more easily available and less toxic Zinc Dichromate? "
