Just wanted share that I met our famously knowledgeable RetroPlay today! Very nice guy and really enjoyed speaking with him over lunch...

i also want to send a HUGE THANKS to him for helping me out with the ashtray broken part problem. Retro presented me with the part I need.

i was also able to see his 2005 SC430!!! It is a beautiful Twilight Amethyst Pearl (purple). Man, I like that color!

It was great finally meeting you, too. And thank you for lunch and the great conversation! That new red SC is a real beauty.

Default Sc430 ashtray arm

It has a quarter gear on one end that meshes with the dampener gear. It is rather fragile (the original one in my car was broken, too.)

I have no desire to put the ashtray back in, so the part is yours. The space has been planned for USB sockets and other controls. I smoke, but never in my car.

If I don't have it anymore, it would take just a couple of hours to design and 3D print a new one.

Hello Retroplay .. i saw on the post you helped a fellow member fix his ashtray .. mine just broke also if you have anymore how would i be able to order one from you?
