63-64 Battery trays

Almost every 63 or 64 full size car I have seen needs a battery tray.
It looks like a fairly simple part to reproduce.

I vote for just about any part on a pre-1964 car.

70-72 Cutlass/442 full quarter panels, 70-72 Cutlass/442 lower fender patches and braces, 70-72 Cutlass/442 tail panel and the lip that holds the weatherstripping in because that always rots out, and core support patch.

Unfortunately not. They all sell the rcf300/400 and robbins cover, none of them matches to a 72er. And I mean the lower plastic column cover which is screwed directly to the dash with two screws, not the one in the carpet :-(

While looking at the Buick Performance Club website, one of the pages noted reproduction lower fender braces. It seems the club president asked Sherman Auto Parts to make the replacement lower fender braces for their Buick fender patch panels.

Maybe some of the members who do body work can take a look at them to determine if these reproduction lower fender braces can be used with an Oldsmobile patch panel or fender.

This isn't Sherman but it looks similar to the lower fender brace and a reasonable price as well!!!

First funkwagons parts now this it really has been a day to give thanks

Here are some small parts the industry can use reproduced correctly. I have found some they sell but are unusable,totally wrong size.
Ever try to find these NOS? Very difficult to find.

Throttle cable bushing,grommet and washer.

Those parts are readily available, called throttle linkage bushings.

When I needed these parts all I could find from the repop places were to wide and do not fit.
Here's a pic of part of an original and what you receive from the aftermarket.

No I did not try Holley.
After plenty of searching I finally found a couple nos sets which are in the first pic.

Would Holley have parts for a factory quadrajet throttle linkage assembly?

Those same bushings are used on a variety of makes. The hole that they fit in is the same on a multitude of carbs.
