I would like to replace the thin chrome strips inlaid in the armrests and the chrome end caps. Anyone know where I can get them? Or do you have to send them out to be re-done? Thanks !!!

Ken,

I used 10mm chrome adhesive strip / chrome moulding trim that I bought from Ebay for approximately £8 / $10 for 5m.
I gently pushed it into the gap and eased it around the corners. The width and the adhesion should hold it in place ok and should work out cheaper.

I also used the remaining strip to edge the map pockets as they would originally have been on my 69'.

auto ricambi has them both...very reasonably priced and they look great.

you can also clean up the end caps for about $1.00 go to a sing or baner store and ask for some mylar scrapes (its a decal) they use for chrome lettering
