Answer
Hello Anthony,

I have volunteered to answer questions that relate to “Automotive Wooden Interior Trim” and I do appreciate you asking me a question, however that is NOT in my area expertise.

Specifically the “Real” wood trim parts found in Jaguars, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Bentleys, BMWs, Jensen Healeys, Austin Healeys, Triumphs - etc. etc. etc.

Should you or any of your fellow automotive enthusiasts have interior wood trim in their vehicles....and IF that wood is having trouble.....I can help.

Thank you.

OH, and for what it is worth, I would think that you Might be able to find or order a repair manual for your car, either from a Local Parts Store or Amazon, Borders or maybe on eBay etc. etc.  It would be a good idea to have one, if you are going to do mechanical work yourself...It wouldn't necessarily answer your specific question, because you want to do something different than stock.  

Also for what it is worth, I would think that you might want to search for a classic/vintage car club in your area.  Many folks in clubs are very helpful people and may be able to help you find your answer...making a friend or two in that "world" would be very helpful, especially if you are going to do mechanical work yourself.  Who knows, maybe one of those folks has had the same problem or can assist you personally with the answer to your question.

Another idea, would be to ask around to see if there is a good muffler shop in your area - one that can do custom exhaust fabrications....preferably a shop that other people are happy with.  They could give you the best advice....and probably do the job for you....you have to remember, we don't drill our own teeth or take out our own appendix for a reason.

(I would appreciate you taking the time to Rate my response....thanks)
