Thread: 1970 Skylark center console

    1970 Skylark center console

    Has anybody found a source for a replacement pushbutton for the center console of a 1970 Skylark? I have bought console locks from OPGI but they are too large in diameter. There is a console in the classified's that shows the correct pushbutton, but I have had no luck finding one.
    I'd appreciate any information anyone could provide.
    Thanks in advance

    Do you mean the pull up bar for the horseshoe shifter handle?

    skylark center console question

    No, I am looking for a replacement pushbutton latch that allows you to open the center console compartment door. Heres a picture - I hope...
    Thanks for replying

    As far as I know I bought the last GM NOS ones a few years back. There were two I could find. You must buy the entire latch assembly. To my belief no repros have been made. If anyone has it would be www.thepartsplaceinc.com.

    OPGI is prmarily a Chevelle supplier. They have a bad habit of of putting their Chevelle parts in their Buick Cat on the assumption they will cross over without really checking it out first.

    console latch

    I appreciate the feedback, I checked with the parts place and they don't have the latch. I hear what you are saying about OPGI, I've returned a few parts already.
    So far the only place I have found with the part is called billonsandtrillonsinc. They are pricey but they say they have the part in stock.
    I guess it comes with the territory when you are trying to restore a classic - it's just part of the fun!

    I would read this thread and all it links before I sent one penny there.
