    Two More 69 Questions--Before Spring Carlisle

    #1. What is the correct color for the accelerator cable on a 69 tripower car? Several have told me of an "orange" sleeve on the cable. Is the cable black with an orange sleeve somewhere, or is the cable orange? Paragon's catalog mentions the orange cable for tripowers built "late" in the model year. My body build date is M-27...August 27, 1969.

    #2 The interior rear quarter trim panels for 69.....mine are vinyl covered fiberglass/plastic which have been repaired many times on the top, where they have broken. I would like to replace them. The manual say 68's use "vinyl covered plastic" and that 69's use "plastic". Are my current broken ones incorrect? Should I look for plastic ones? I've honestly seen only vinyl covered ones, but I haven't looked at 1000 cars. Any and all help will be appreciated. I'm making my list for Spring Carlisle in a few weeks. Thanks. Chuck Gongloff

    Chuck----

    I am not certain regarding the color of the 3X2 accelerator cable. I don't recollect ever seeing one that had a cable sheath which is entirely orange, but I'm really not certain on this point. Your August build car should have had the 2nd design cable, though. This cable was GM #3973861, orange or otherwise.

    Your rear interior trim panels were vinyl-covered plastic/fiberglass. Of that, I'm sure.
