Extra Bracket from build, 70 Cutlass SX

Guys,

I need help with this bracket we have left over from our build. I can not find where it goes in the assembly manual. Any Help is appreciated.




Thanks,
Joel B

That goes inside the driver's door, behind the inner door panel, to support the control cable for the remote outside mirror.

The image is not contained in the PIM. Images are contained in the Fisher Body Service Manual. Orientation should be obvious from the image(s) since the escutcheon can be attached in only one direction.

Hi -
Alan Reedy and I own and manage SX455.com, which contains the SX registry. We'd love to include your car if it's not already in there - there's no cost to register it. Just shoot me a PM and I'll send you the form that includes the info we try and collect for each car. Thanks.

Twilight Blue with bright blue interior? What a fantastic color combination. And a W32 as well. I love it.

How can you tell without more info from the owner?

Fair question. I have that info from the owner - I run SX455.com now with Alan Reedy. Joel has the car registered there. His dad bought it new and W32 is on the Fremont build sheet.

Paper work, Thats nice, I thought you saw something in the pictures that made you think it was a W32.

Beautiful car. I love SX's. You don't see many Cutlass Supreme's without a vinyl top. Mine was Aspen green. White top. Black interior.

This is a city van/bus by my house. Being the Oldsmobile geek that I am I had to take a picture.

A lot of the Fremont and Linden cars had build sheets left in them. Lucky for the owners to find them

Ya my dad told me all along he didn’t want any bells and whistles when he ordered it. Power steering, Y79 and W32 is all it had for major options. Other than that it’s pretty plain, we added a few things for better drivability being that we are old now!
The color is actually the Astro blue. Code 25. He didn’t want the original platinum, much to my disagreement, but I think it actually turned out really good. I got an amazing buddy who’s done all the work for us.
Hopefully the front end will drop some with some miles!
Thanks guys. Still looking for information on the thread I posted about the rear window molding and clips.

W32 is a great package, FANATASTIC torque will put you in the seat, and cost you for tires. And of course, the style of the body

First car I learned to drive in at the age of 11 or 12 in the country. It was awesome!

I am a bit concerned about the transmission not having the correct rebuild or shift kit. We took for a short ride and it seemed not nearly as solid of shift but really need to break the motor in before we hit it hard I suppose.

Make sure your vacuum modulator is connected to vacuum source on the engine
