Re: Welcome new member - 1964 Bristol 408



Gary, here's  photo of my dash (right) and that of the next model of Bristol dash (left) which has the park lever.   The later one's buttons resemble a 62 Dodge Dart.  I think the shifter from one of those could be made to work although I suspect the mounts for the shifter inside the dash are different.

Yes, all I have now is the parking brake which operates correctly but is pretty weak despite all my efforts adjusting it.

Thanks for the update David.

When you get a chance post a photo of the dash of your 1964, showing the pushbutton setup there.

Maybe we can figure out how to add a suitable park lever.

I am assuming you just use  a parking brake for now.

Thanks,
Gary H.
