Yeah that came out perfect !

Nice! That sounds like a pretty flawless resto mod , hold that originality but add some modern touches kudos. I lost the am/fm pegs when I did my retro sound mod but there hardly noticeable.

You might already know this , but there is a set screw in the back that adjust the audible tone . I inadvertently did a hey what does this do [emoji23] and screwed mine up . But once I set it back in it’s rightful place my set seems to work fine .just incase you get lucky and the set screw just needs to be adjusted . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahhh gotcha I really appreciate you taking the time to extend your knowledge, I’m always learning with this car and I really enjoy it! Really cool stuff

Wow what a wealth of information thanks for sharing that love reading through that stuff , I’ve been doing as much research as I can and that sure has a lot ! I’m trying to get keys that at least look original to the untrained eye , for my doors DA23 and ignition seems to be DA20. I’m a particular person and they aren’t serious problems , so appreciate all the insight that much more . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh good idea I should have picked up on that , this is a shot with the cut face pointing down . I believe this is what you meant . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks so much man your the best, I was looking to get another key made . Wasn’t in the system at the box stores and the local hardware store just needed the right blank and they said they could cut anything. Saw a custom key blank online that’s what sparked my interest. And yes you are right 3 keys is probably overkill [emoji28] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wondering if any folks knew the codes associated with the blanks for this common, not original ignition switch replacement . Keys are labeled car show with a unique identifier C23425? I noticed there are a lot of custom key blanks for the originals, but I wasn’t able to dig up if these are made for a bluebird or a 510 . ( note there is no door alarm functionality in this unit ). Any help is appreciated !

I was contemplating getting Roadrunner horns , they seem like the same shape/style to just the color might be rough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a good idea , you ever get some working models please do share , if you don’t mind of course . I was thinking of a way to open up the originals I have for fitment with a dremel, but I haven’t built up the courage quite yet. Also have a number of other projects before I take a crack at that one . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an update , pushed the speaker behind the bracket as it should be a little snug with the vapor hoses but everything clips in . Just to confirm fitment the center does not fit perfectly, but it’s hardly noticeable. If I care enough I’ll sand it down till it sits flush down the road.

Yeah that came out awesome , what size tip did you end up using ? Just want to make sure I buy the right size for the job . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that turned out awesome , I gotta get on that ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect appreciate the help @jfa.series1

modeled up some brackets based off the originals , I adjusted to match 5.25 speakers. My brother was able to print them fine , passenger and drivers. Models attached below, note the model units was set incorrectly so they need to be scaled from 100% to 2540% to adjust mm to inches. Bracket.7z
