1966 404 Coupé Injection Restoration

Round two of plated hardware:

Replated taillights that I got a couple of weeks ago, this time  reassembled.  One of the turn indicator bases had to be replated and all the screws were done at the same time.

6 months ago I was desperate to find one of these.  Instead I found an earlier version with the same threading that had to be turned down on a lathe to make it fit.  Then a couple weeks ago, I found this.....in the same box where I found the others.  So I had it replated for future considerations.....

I was away in Prince George last weekend with Sandy but on the way we managed to squeeze some 404 action in: I stopped by John Coltman's house in Barriere BC and he gave me a bunch of NOS 404 parts, plus some old KF2 injection parts and lots of spare fasteners and hardware.

On the way back home I bought a huge sheet of rubber for making the pedal box gasket and inner fender rubber seals.  Tonight I took 15 minutes to make a new gasket.  It's on the car already, on the studs in the footwell waiting for the pedal box to be mounted (months from now, I don't want the pedals in the way early on in the reassembly process).
