The harder way is more time and it is the same steps as above just needs a 1/4-20 thread 3/4 to 1" long, epoxied to the carbon and let dry for at least an hour out of the cold air. I then used a 1-1/4" Di. flat washer and thread lock. I spun the wing nut until it gently felt the slightest tension and thats it. Barely put any pressure against the washer as it will pull the center part of the plaque and bend it. It's just there for my peace of mind if the tape were to fail somehow.

So I took some stainless steel, formed and welded it to the inside of the tip. It took about 5 hours to fabricate and cut and weld and repaint the new metal and I think it looks great!! Opinions may differ but this is my car..lol. I was going to get a new Quad tip bumper, buy quad tips and all that but this was a fun project and I saved a good amount of money.

The antenna delete DYI is great, thanks for sharing!

- Did you by any chance measure the length and width of the hole?

Thanks, I totally forgot to measure it, I could of maybe found a plug that would go right in. But this is a good temporary solution and I already had the carbon plaque.

I agree, I'm looking for a plug that fits closer in size to the opening. If I find it I'll post on here. Did you happen to measure the hole size?

Removed the to tall MOMO for this old school race ball knob, the color is stunning, puts a nice contrast in the interior. It has matching horizontal white stripes which i'm going to engrave onto and an 86 front and center.
