Well this is really thick fibre optic (OK, probably some sort of plastic stuff) that I have not seen anywhere else. Option CD2 Windshield Washer Fluid Level Indicator is a float in the cap with a light bulb on one side and the fibre cable on the other side. When the fluid level is high enough the float blocks the light from the cable. I cut the cable at the cap and removed it and the little lens that mounts under the dash. I guess I might be able to remove the cable from the filler cap and fit a new one but I don't know where to get any of it. BTW this "fibre optic cable" is about half as thick as a pencil if I recall correctly. Nothing like the stuff we use in networking. > ... > I can't tell you if there was a specific color or decals on the covers that > year/model, but any SBC covers from that era will fit as long as you haven't > modified the valve train.

It makes a noise when you are "spinning" the wheel parking. > Have you tried > dropping the column down and looking for signs of wear? It's inside the column around the main shaft. I was thinking that maybe the shaft was loose and moving enough to let the cover rub against the outer housing. I should just GOMA and pull the wheel off. > ...Did I mention that Cliff is a great guy?
