Question 2

If your going to go the rubber route make sure to buy the best de waxier you can find and scrub the new pieces till you think it's all gone then go another 20 minutes. Otherwise what ever glue you will use will not stick. I would recommend the 3m vinyl trim adhesive as it works really well.

To replace them your going to have to pull the seats, side and front panel and the floor cover both the front and rear to make it as easy as it can be. I believe moss makes the original rubber flooring as well but buy the time you by the replacement flooring and sill covers your a good chunk of the way to the cost of a good carpeting kit.

By the way when you do go to remove it expect to make good friends with a scraper as the rubber if it was like mine will come off in sections. It was a good 2 day job to get all of it off.
 
Told my surgeon: "This would all be very fascinating... if it weren't MY eyes."

Left one got th' whole Magilla: vitrectomy, scleral buckle, cold laser'd the retina back into position. Not at all a pleasant experience... but how useless is a blind photojournalist? I'm just happy the technology exists.
 
Any idea what caused it? You have symptoms other than blurred vision? Floaties? BOTH eyes or just the left? How's your vision now?

I bet you looked quite dashing in your eye patch though!
 
1)Living beyond age 24 (biological usefulness).
2)Only "symptom" was the evident separation when it started.
3)floaters in the right eye, none inna left... right retina was about to go as well, so it got "stiched" with the laser, too.
4) left settled out at 20/25, right a bit better.

Had cataract lens replacement (I.O.L.'s) in both the year before.

All $$$$!! outta me arse.

Only one eye at a time JB and hope and pray it comes out alright.Do em both at the same time and you could end up Blind- better to be blind in one eye and can't see too good out of the other.--Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

At least you're around to tell us about it.

J.B., ask the good Doc 'bout beer through a straw.
Reminds me of Striker's "drinking problem" in Airplane
 
Oh gawd, Ben!!!

Mate that with "Groundhog Day"....

STOP TH' WHEEL!!! I wanna GET OFF!!!
 
funny that "Airplane" and "Groundhog Day" were mentioned back to back like that. It just so happens that on my trip to Okinawa, Uncle Same was kind enough to book me on civilian flights. Unfortunately for me "Groundhog Day" was the film the airline was showing. So, I got to see it on my plane hop from Atlanta to STL, from STL to LAX, from LAX to Yakota AFB, Japan, and then yet again from Yakota to Kadena AFB Okinawa... the irony of it all had me numb and senseless by the time I reached Camp Butler... I thought I was Bill Murry when I got there...

'bout a year later someone suggested we rent the movie to watch and I promptly shot that idea down without hesitation...
 
Doc, if you need some custom seat spacers made, I can make you some from aluminum roundstock. I can pretty much make them any length you require. Contact me at gmasterman@aol.com
 
Thanks, Gerry. I'll keep your info to hand.
 
Doc - I've got them for Jerri's GT...really are nice pieces & gie a little height boost to seat
 
Seat boosters? They raise the height of the seats?
 
Yup. Gerry makes 'em from aluminium...

"Where do you want to go today?"

An inch HIGHER, please. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
