    Enamel inserts for heater control on 71

    Hey there - is anyone making the inserts? I'm not a pro but I think they are enamel or something? My car has some nice patina on the dash heater/radio area, but the missing bits are sort of annoying...

    Would take non-restored original looking inserts too...

    If I'm incorrect now what these are feel free to correct me. Thank you

    These parts are just thin pieces of plastic, pushed into the holes.
    Just cut something up with an exacto.
    The thickness is less than a mm.
    I will check if the white parts are glow in the dark.

    Not sure about all years, but the white triangle pieces in my 8/71 coupe definitely are (slightly) glo-in-the-dark. I was able to pop them out when I refinished the face of mine. The blue sections were semi-hard blue putty-like stuff. I flaked it all out and filled the spots with Testor's model paint.

    Here’s my control. The interior of the car is pretty nice. I don’t want these too perfect. For example I’m ok with the radio look, i do need to add the chrome inner knobs tho....

    Maybe i just do a bit of touch up
