Something Missing.

[lancepar]

From the attached photo it would appear I'm missing a part from between the ignition barrel trim and the column shroud.on the Griff'.

Probably from a Cavalier, anybody got one they wish to part with or is it a go search the breakers yard when they open again.

I've searched the web but not sure what to call it.

How on earth did you notice that! Are you in the habit of staring at the inside of your car on your knees?

I bet they are all the same.

[lancepar]

HaHa,

I've only had the car 12 months and still finding things missing or jobs want doing.

I could feel there was something not there but thought it was the barrel trim until I took a photo.

If yours is missing then so is mine.

They are called ignition barrel surround trims. Did TVR fit them though?

Mike,
My phone call to you the other day, which went to voicemail, was to ask if you had one,

Sorry, don't know what happenned there, except that I'm a complete numpty with mobile phones

But, as I guess you can see from my reply I don't have one, let alone a spare!

I couldn't resist to take a look...

[Griffer]

Well I've got one on my 92 precat. A large soft rubber steped grommet which fits over the key barrel and sits snug into the cowling to fill the gap.

I have a spare set of shrouds but just looked and no spare barrel trim I'm afraid. If you have that missing then I bet you have the front cowl screw covers missing as well, you can just see one in picture. Sorry for the pic quality but my car is under a cover in a dark garage.

Crikey that clutch pedal is set up high!

[Griffer]

Never noticed before, there is a bit of thread showing!

[lancepar]

The push in screw covers are both there,

I had the cowl off recently when I had the facia out dunno why I didn't notice the large rubber washer was missing.

There should be a gasket then, I'll keep searching now I know what it looks like and when the breakers are open pay them a visit. The same cowl was fitted to the Opel Senator I understand.
And I bet there was one in the box of bits still to be fitted to the unfinished Chim' I sold.

Might be worth contacting some Cavalier/Senator peeps on PH.

Cheers everyone, stay safe.

Try giving Autovaux a call. They've been really good at getting stuff for older Vauxhalls and they're a lot cheaper than a dealer.

What are these things that you call keys? (Cerbera Owner)

[lancepar]

Iain I've sent Autovaux an email, cheers.

[BIG DUNC]

Missing on my 92 precat, but I had never noticed until day.

Missing on mine too. Let us know if they have supplies and I’ll get one too.

The other bit I’m missing is the black plastic cowling from the seat reclining mechanism, what Vauxhall’s is that form?

[bobfather]

In one of those photos of missing neoprene part and perhaps both photos it looks like the neoprene part is there, it may have been pushed into the cowl along the lock barrel

Not Vauxhall, try Fiat X19

Well spotted. If you click on the pics it takes you to Thumbsnap and then click again it enlarges the photo a lot. Worth a closer look?
