Re: Shifter console repair
Here is a picture of Muggy Weld and flux (the dark brown stuff) around the area that had been corroded away. The next two pictures show filing and sanding the outside of the console to blend in the Muggy weld repair. I may try to fill in the little voids if I can get a smaller torch. It's not perfect but the bite taken out of the thin pot metal by corrosion was filled in well enough to replate. Since I have been quoted $500 for used ones requiring replating and $1600 for NOS, I can live with these imperfections. Clem, Thanks for the tip.
