what did you all do fiberglass it or what
this is what i have to fix and plan to fiberglass it but wondering what you all did



apart.you can see the cracks here better







and the cushion part that allows room for the correction



i just wont to fix what could easily break due to another ford short fall lol

 

alum plate cut to fit inside the inner lid, drill holes in plate. Epoxy plastic weld it to the inside of the inner lid, holes allow epoxy weld to come threw it, let dry. reassemble.

 

cut me one please. lol i fixed mine with epoxy only and my dad cracked it like 3 days later haha now i just lift it up before he gets in

 

i put a BL bed support under mine at the front its the perfect height and it allows you not to over compress the arm rest. then it wont break on your again.

 

alot of people do this.

 

im trying to find a new piece but its like impossible and i need a crush block too if i get a new piece. mine are actually under the bed lol

 

new arm rest with inner is like $100 from dealer btw doesnt come with screws there obsolete damn ford. I know i just ordered one LOL

 

hey cheaper than my dealership....160 for it. im going to search all the jys in the damn state til i get one LOL

Edit: Silver, ill try to find two of them if u wanted a new one too

 

its not hard to fix them mine is still going strong after plate and epoxy weld now for a year

 

seams to be a hard raskel to find .. there not as popular of a item as the XLT consoles are but if you do hit me up in case i screw mine up during the fix lol


i dont have a plate so ill try a fiberglass cloth and resin deal that i have collecting dust. at least mine is not shot just cracked

 

Yeah ill let you know if i find one

 

same here its called steel stores

 

i dun gat dat kynd of stoar neer mi eether. I would have to make a plate myself, which i can't lol. prob easier for me to find a new piece haha

 

not in my neck of the woods,welcome to BFE,but was thinking a piece of 3/4 starboard would work just as well

starboard is a dence plastic composite used on boats i just need a small piece not a 54x48 sheet like i sell lol but in all just as good as steel depending on the application

 

What's a "BL bed support"?

Picture?

Thanks

So does the dealer sell a replacement? Mine broke as well, almost in the exact same place as the one in the picture.

 

I believe it would be the body lift bed supports found in body lift kits that people usually don't install.

Yes, but they're spendy.

 

i have sean that done but mine are too tall

 

On your thread over at RPS....Someone tipped me on a rebuild/reinforcement kit available on RockAuto.com.



Here's a view of the product catalog:


And the pic post of the actual product.


To me....$40 is totally worth it!! It's worth it to anyone who has this centerconsole with the vinyl top. It's on the Christmas list for sure!! I miss having an ALL BLACK armrest and now miss having an armrest at all!


I assume what I found on RockAuto's catalog is correct, but I'm waiting for response on if it is infact the correct product.

 

I had bought one of those on eBay, but could never figure out how it went, it was almost like it was backwards in an area if that makes since.

 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i want that

 

^me too!


Screw experimenting with glass like I was gonna do, I'm getting me that! And it'll let me fix my un-square mounted AA maglite mount!

 

OMG OMG OMG OMG!! Soooo...I clicked on info on the item at RockAuto....here's what appeared....

 

wow. Ford should have done that straight out of the factory. I like it a lot.

 

its on my list too .. i knew some one had to make one of those in metal
