 Using a small screwdriver...  Using a small screwdriver and a nut driver or small pliers, carefully tighten the support brace system to the original spring support. Your repair may differ if the spring tab is completely broken, but the instructions have clear steps for each type of repair.  If the ashtray door mounting...  If the ashtray door mounting stud is broken from the console top assembly (pointing with screwdriver), the MavroMont Industries kit has a repair step for that as well, though ours was solid and ready for more years of use.  Reinstall the ashtray door...  Reinstall the ashtray door and the original spring. A new spring is not included in the kit, so if your spring is missing, you will have to order one from MavroMont or your Ford dealer. The installation of the door and spring together takes a bit of patience and a few tries, but you'll get it.  Our finished repair is ultra-strong...  Our finished repair is ultra-strong and the spring hole will never weaken or wear out in our lifetime. This is an excellent repair for an hour's time, and the attractive price of the kit-under $15.  Once we were sure the ashtray...  Once we were sure the ashtray door worked as Ford had intended it to, we repaired the damaged area of the console with some plastic filler, and then stripped the upper console of all parts and refinished the console with the correct gray from Metro Authentic Finishes. MAF's vast line of interior paints for the vintage and late-model Mustang markets work beautifully every time.
