    THERMOSTAT REPLCEMENT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    Driver Door Hinge

    PS: Grind the rivet on the new hinge from the back (hinge side)like that when you put the new spring one it will be brand new with no grinding marks. On the old hinge you have to grind from the front/spring side and the sping clip will get damaged but you don't care since you're replacing it...

    Cost of RT/10 radio unit?
