Moly grease ? Or just normal, lithium, …other ?
while we are on this...
swapping the old with the NOS

I think I used wheel bearing grease.
thgank you Steve, sounds nice, but i would prefer moly, it has higher density so it would keep in place at higher temp without falling down

finally it was necessary to build one
diameters 12 and 23, a bit tricky, some 0,... needed to be removed to instert in their respective places

a difficult time it came with the need for fixing the horizontal wood piece to the vertical ones
i made a trial on the body mounted on duct tape, it seemed fine, but setting some screws freeze everithing in place forever,
i used the alu trim part as a support to join both wood bits on top,
then i checked how the shapes fit together,
made some changes in positions and started with the joint procedure
i felt that in order to introduce the screws the process is a bit laborious as drilling is involved
i found better to use nails as references, but i predrill the position, the nails to be removed afterwards
i used torx headed SS screws,
3x30 for the wood to wood, drilling with a 2mm drill
then 3x16 for the top alu trim, a bit longer than the originals, but originals seemed ridiculous like 3x8
went well, satisfied with outcome.

So so, here it comes, checking the conduct
And now some consoles…
so, once all this was ready it only took 2 hours to complete the upholstery process,...i am getting old...
most difficult part is to get the edges inside the rubber channel...
start in one corner back side
then turn other side and pull while puting staples to fix
keep the tension and work the other end
tools
nice result, clean lines…
ready for the alu trim lines

rear lights,
feel that getting used to it…
the last step is the critical and risky one,….the alu trim moldings,
frist draw the line with a pencil, then straighten the spikes, position the moldings, and use your thumb for good control
if you fail, you will need new covers, so, remove olds, cut, sewing, place news, upholster and give a new try…
so one of the facts, is that the new consoles will mean new central stand for gauges and radio...
