Well I've been tooling around central PA for a few weeks now in my still unfinished restoration. I've got a heck of a rattle that I just can't figure out. Everything I put in this car is double tight it can't be rattling. But it is and I can't figure out what it is. It is under the dash, Pa country roads bring it out, seems mostly on the passenger's side. While driving I put my hand up under there, there's mostly nothing there. Thought it might be the bonnet pull, then maybe a cable. I grab each of them while driving and it doesn't stop it. Reached on top of the heater box for a free cable, etc. Then put may hand on the back of all the gauges, still can't pin it down. It is metallic, sound alot like you might slap the slack part of a heater control cable onto something. But that doesn't seem to be it. I even wove some hose sections onto the cable to keep them from hitting metal on metal. But now I might have discovered it, but can't believe it, could it be the wiper cable/linkage. It's been so long since I put them together I can't really remember what they are like, you know demential and all. It seems the inner "cable" might be rattling against the outter tube. Could that be? And if so how to stop it? Any thoughts please. Thanks, Dave.
