All bits mounted into place. Glad you guys enjoy the effort. I am in need of one left hand indicator trim which acts as a trim and the entire indicator housing. If you have one for sale kindly contact me.

Really enjoy this type of workmanship. Always rewarding to repair something rather than throw something new on.:praise:
