Yeah it’s a bit of a pain, quite a strict inspection- a torn steering or suspension boot will fail even if there is no play in the joint. Post 2000 cars get a year and brand new cars get 3 years, it’s an incentive to get old cars off the road. There is a bit of a movement to extend the time for...

Many months later I have an update, yes the poly bracket can be easily drilled to take mount 2228. I used a dremel to grind a pit to accept the nub on the mount also but it probably wouldn't be strictly necessary. It has been on the car for some months now with no issues.

A small update on the dodge, here in nz cars built pre 2000 are subject to a 6 monthly safety inspection. It goes in for that this week, so I thought i'd better get it ready. Both outer tie rod boots were split, I replaced the rod end on the rhs as it looked pretty old and just put a new boot on...

G'day all, thought i'd post a project thread about my 1965 Polara here in New Zealand. An extremely oddball car here, there are lots of old mustangs & chargers and impalas etc but this car is only the second 65' Polara/monaco I've seen, though I do know of a couple more around the country. I've...

Thanks, i'll get around to it and report back for the next person in this particular basket. I would have gone for the correct mounts too if I had only done my research instead of blindly trusting rockauto.. getting in anything ex u.s takes around 3 weeks for me. I see imperialservices.net has...

Thanks so much for the very useful thread, I just went to change my 65 Polara motor mounts with 2227 & 2228, 2227 fits fine on the passenger side but the drivers side was a head scratcher - this explains why! Has anybody just drilled the top bracket for the single stud? Looks like a simple...

I just read your thread from the beginning, a great read. Always amazing what bodgery can lie under the paint of an old car, I remember one holden panelvan I had where I discovered new outer sill/rockers had been tacked on top of the original rusted out ones - after grinding off buckets of...

Problem solved, the limiter was in the temperature gauge. I have an aftermarket temp gauge under the dash anyway so I just took the original gauges 12v feed for the new limiter and fed it to the fuel gauge - which luckily seems to work great. The limiter/regulator has a handy usb port for...

Thanks mate, that would be great if its not too much trouble - i'm hoping I know just enough to get er done but would be awesome to have the correct diagram on hand for future reference!

Thanks for that, excellent information in that link - good to know that 3 terminals on the gauge = internal limiter. I'm hoping to pull the cluster tomorrow and see what's what. I probably would use an rte unit if I didn't already have a dc/dc regulator, puts out 3 amp which should be plenty...

G'day all, have read through the many threads regarding the troublesome c body IVR's, and just had a couple of follow up questions if anyone can help. The fuel & temp gauges in my u.s model 1965 polara are dead, and I suspect the IVR as the primary culprit. Any idea if the regulator is external...

G'day, just joined up as I have a 1965 Polara here in nz, I have already gained heaps of great info from the forum. The car is in pretty good nick but being nearly 60 years old will always need fettling. Cheers!
