Since I'm here, I wanted to make a couple more observations about the ash tray. While I had it out (...again...) I installed new springs and bumpers. I was not able to find springs specifically for '73 - '87 in the catalogs, so I ordered some for '88 and up. They seemed to work fine.
Also - a 1" socket is a nice fit for those of you who would like your cigarette lighter nice and tight:
I'm heading back outside to see what I can do about that floormat!
