is the nylon box strapping about 1/4 inch wide? Is it a hardware store item?

A side note: Seems to me that owning and DIY-ing a car that's 10 to 20 years old makes one think of the longer term on repairs.

While strippig the 1979 245DL, I finally thought it through - I can just cut the wires, no need to save the harnesses or connectors. I can rip up the seat, it will be trashed anyway. Holes left where O/S rearview mirrors were? No problem - car is crusher-bound. Felt a little out of character.

Repairing the 240s that I do care for, always think of making it either as good as stock or better. E.g.: Replacement windshield wiper motor is wrapped in very heavy plastic to keep the rust that holed and ruined the first one (in only 17 years) from recurring.

Regards, and thanks,

Bob
