Paul, I gotta get a copy of that book. Another awesome illustration.

There appears to be a bracket that attaches to the firewall. Is that part of the stock throttle connection, or a cruise part? My car is in storage, so I can't go out and look.

There is a complete '64 Caddy setup on eBay right now. I asked the seller to send me more detailed pictures of the control head yesterday, but so far he hasn't responded. I wouldn't mind scoring this because I am also missing the speedo cable that goes from the cruise unit to the left front wheel.

As far as contacting the seller, he was contrite, but it's not like he can go back to the warehouse and grab another one. The damage was done. Candidly, he packed the thing into too small a box, but there's little to be done about it now and I am not one to make a huge fuss.

I think the chrome platers will be able to fix the housing and even though it will cost me some money, the up side is that I will have a very mint appearing housing. I have just about eliminated any trace of damage to the dial, so that will be fine. The other part I knew was broken going into this.
