Re: IML: '60 push buttons falling out! Update

[richard burgess <lecrown60@xxxxxxxxx>]

AHH, Both great suggestions, I'll let you all know how I come out.  The Crown is coming along nicely.  I was unable to work on it this summer but now am looking forward to a winter of work with no interuptions.  Hope to get it running when my Dad is here at Christmas.  Will probably be the first time this car has run since the late 1970s.  Also trying to get my LeBaron painted this fall as well.  I took all the trim off and it is all polished and ready to install.  It is at the transmission shop and as soon as its back I have a little bit of bodywork to finish then off to the paint shop.

Get a pair of long nosed pliers & CAREFULLY squeeze the forks a little bit.
The buttons will then fit snuggly.
