ROCKER PANEL DISC's

[RACEBUICKS]

SO I kinda have another project Im working on. The rocker panel disc's for the GS's and Skylarks with the 4in trim. SO was wondering how many sets I shoudl start out with ......... Someone was reading my mind tonight ...so I better go ahead and announce that IM doing them. :TU:

[kevin mcculloug]

Would they be different than the ones CARS sells ? I have them , but haven't installed them yet. I've been told they aren't that great, but like I said, I didn't use them yet.:Do No:

[GStage1]

Excellent idea....you should be able to sell quite a few sets.
Are you going to make the front mounting strip?

[RACEBUICKS]

Thats easy to do too, most likely I will need too.

Can you get a close up picture that is clear so I can look at them? Put a ruler in the background too for reference thanks

[BillMah52]

I'm in for a few sets Mike. I'm sure they will be of better quality than the "crap" thats available now. Correct diameter too.

I have these in decent shape so for now Im ok

[SwedishGS455-71]

Is it one set per side or per car?? :Do No:

I need one set for my car (both sides) :beer

// Jan

[RACEBUICKS]

A set to me is enough to do one car. I also have the metal strap under way as of today too.

[GSX-Rated]

I need a set also..

[NSBound]

I bought a set plus the bars off Year One but haven't tried installing them yet, but a new source of good parts is always good!

[copperheadgs1]

I never saw these in Y1 catalog. I bet they are wrong.

[NSBound]

Part Numbers AJ33 and AJ43

[Tom Miller]

I need a complete set.

[the loon]

Mike, sorry to post this here but I lost track of your other thread. Did you decide to try to make the strap that pulls the heater hoses over to the intake on 70 non air cars?

I never got one to use as a sample

[RACEBUICKS]

Front mounting strap will be done next week still waiting on the disc's

[evil16v]

i have mine yet... but i'll take a set of both.

[evil16v]

Any word on the disks?

[RACEBUICKS]

NOt yet. Still waiting on the tooling to be done.

[CTX-SLPR]

What do these look like? I need the upper mounting hooks (the look like discs with little hooks on them) for the 64-65 Riviera rocker moulding and I have a hunch these might be the same and if not work well enough for me since I'm building a restro mod not a restoration.

Thanks,

[RACEBUICKS]

Just talked to the tool and die guy. Looks like the stamper is about done. Should have these to make inside of 3-4 weeks

Also note that I have the rocker straps available now.

[Brian]

What are the straps you keep talking about? My cars both only came with the discs holding the rocker panel mouldings on the car. The discs are the same for the '64 and '65 Skylark as well as the '65 GS.

[RACEBUICKS]

On the 70-72 it has a strap of metal with a lip on the top to slide the molding over it. It is on the fender and backwards about 15 inches total. Sorry I dont have a picture of one yet, maybe someone has one for us to look at.

[CTX-SLPR]

Can you take a picture of just the disc?

[RACEBUICKS]

Still waiting on the tooling guy to give me a size of disc soon soon

[evil16v]

just put my name on a bag of those and the strips. I'll give ya cash and pick them up next time in T town.

[RACEBUICKS]

I have the proto type disc's done now. The disc's ended up being 115 thous larger than we were supposed to be but when I installed the moldings to Mike Mullens GS they worked perfect. These are 20 guage galvanized. So rust shouldnt be a probelm for quite some time.

The tooling was more than anticipated and so I will edit this as soon as I get the pricing for the Tooling. That will determine what the overall cost is for these as a set of 10 per car. I also was going to look into the correct bolts to use with them..

[RACEBUICKS]

Ok the billing was finally sent to me. The sets of 10 are $18.50 plus $3 S&H

Lets get them on order. Paypal is mike@mrbuick.com

Would you tell me the diameter so I can measure the ones that I have?

[RACEBUICKS]

They were just a little smaller than 1 3/4 inch

[CTX-SLPR]

If they even have a hope of working on the '65 Riv stuff I'll take 3 sets since we have like 6 or 7 a side. Do they come with hardware?

[RACEBUICKS]

I should have the screws that look very close to the originals with them here in the next day or so.

[mrgransport]

Do you have the strips for the front fenders too? Let me know. need 2 sets of each if you do.

The discs are 1.75 starting out. After pressed they are .100 larger than the original and fit the molding better to keep it tighter.

Straps are. here.. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=142556

[jimhirt]

Sure like for fitting tighter. If I use the existing holes from the factory will the rocker panel molding fit proper location or is off .050".

[RACEBUICKS]

Bolts into the factory location.

Payment sent today for (2) sets of discs and straps.

Jim,

With a real bright light and some new glasses I have a 50 percent chance of detecting that at 6 inches.:grin: :bglasses: So yep your right. My wife gets better looking as months pass by as well. Maybe thats why she tells me I am not ready for new glasses yet.

How are these attached to the sheetmetal? Just screwed into the metal or are there threaded inserts. I'm planning on using them to hold the ribbed rocker mouldings off of a '65 Riviera onto my '64.

[RACEBUICKS]

Just screwed to the side of the car

Paypal? USPS Money Order? I sell enough for the car as a kit. 10 is the magic number. Do you need the straps that go across the fender?? I can figure out the shipping if so.

I will be shipping out on Weds. Thanks

[CTX-SLPR]

Just counting the needs for the '65 Riviera mouldings. 11 discs per side. I'm doubting its worth picking up an extra disk but mind throwing in some extra fasteners?

Quote on 22 discs and hardware ('65 Riviera moldings). Is there anything special about the screws that hold the mouldings to the body on the Rivieras? I'm not looking for concourse but I don't want it to look bad neither.

Thanks,

Mike, do you (or anyone else) know if these are the same size for a 1965 Skylark?

If so, I need enough for 2 cars.

[RACEBUICKS]

65 takes a smaller diameter size almost 3/8 inch smaller

[G String]

Hi Mike,

I need a full set of your rocker molding discs and the two fender straps to go along with them. This is for a 71 GS. Do you have a hardware package that goes along with these items? I'll send you a PM.

Thank you
