G'Day Fellas, I Have mentioned this before. It Depends on how Much you want the H'Caps! Many Years Ago A Fellow Club member had a 59 Dodge Custom Royal. He wanted to run 15" Wheels but he Loved the DCR Spinners. In the Mystical Land of OZ we Only had 14" Spinners. So, What He Did was to Get Four...

G'Day People, Long and Perhaps Boring Rant to Follow So Be Warned! About Forty Years Ago I Purchased a MAKITA Impact Wrench. Was Used to Disassemble All the Spare Parts Cars our Club Bought. Absolutely Fantastic Mind You it Cost a Week's Wages back in Those Days But Never Regretted Spending the...

Well Done! I Guess Brownie Points Don't Count For Much Around Here But You Still Deserve Some! LOL Each & Every Bit of Info Helps Someone! Regards Tony.M

O.K. Advice from a Self Professed Expert (And Master of Nothing.) Without Looking at the Vehicle, Here are My Suggestions. 1. Check That the Ends of the Brake Shoes are Chamfered. 2. Check to See that the Shoes and / or Drums Aren't Glaced. (A Good Massage with Coarse Sand Paper Should Show a...

73Coupe, I'm a Little Surprised! Over Here in the Mystical Land of OZ We've Been Redoing our G'Box Mounts for the Early Models for About Thirty Years. No Problems if the Fella Knows What he's Doing. It Helps of Course that One of Our Members Was an Engineer Who Made the Dies / Template /...

G'Day, An Ancient Idea But Possibly May Help Someone. Many Years ago When We Had Hi-Pressure Fuel Pump Problems We used a Simple Idea of Placing a T-Piece Before the Fuel Pump and After the Fuel Pump Then joining Them with a Short Piece of Fuel Line. This Recirculated the Fuel Relieving the...

O.K. Haven't Looked at this Thread for Some Time. However After Seeing it Again I MUST Comment. It is Completely Illegal to Use heat on Front End Components in the Mystical Land of OZ. And if Someone Were to be Injured or Killed as a Result of Such Work the "Mechanic / Butcher" Would Find...

G'Day, My Personal Opinion! Stick with the OEM Rubber. Couple of Experiences. 1. Put a Set of Nolathane L/C/Arm Bushes into an Early Valiant, My Own fault Did Not Lubricate Properly Every Time I Drove Over a Speed Bump the Car Brayed Like a Donkey. I Absolutely Drowned the Bushes with Spray Lube...

G'Day, I Can Only Agree. I Have Seen the Result of a Broken Torsion Bar. A Ruptured Duck is the Only Way It Can Be Described. Nose on the Deck, Butt in the Air. Front Bar One Corner Just About Touching the Ground, Rear Bar Opposite Corner Four Feet in the Air. Not Worth the Risk. Regards Tony.M

G'Day, Only a Suggestion But, Why Not take a Few Measurements & Do Some Homework. I have a 69 "FURY" Sedan. (Dodge Phoenix over here.) I'm Fitting 15 x 10 Rims, 275 x 65 x 15 Tyres, (With a Bit of "Squiggling" Maybe 295 x 65 x 15) By Using an Earlier Model Diff, 1.5" Narrower which gives Me Just...

G'Day, A Possible Solution. A Friend Loved his Original 14" Hubcaps But had to run 15" Wheels. Being a Little Handy He had the Lips of 14" Rims "Spun Off" in a Lathe And Mig Star Welded them to his 15" Rims Problem Solved! Regards Tony.M

G'Day, Pana.Mopar If You Email Me I Might be Able to Refer You to Some One Local Who May Possibly Be Able to Help. Not promising But ...... Kind Regards Tony.M P.S. I Tried to PM You But Although I have Never Used that Facility It tells Me I have Exceeded My Limit. ????? LOL

commando 1, The Hard Part is to have the Bloke that Eventually Sorts it Out to Make a Template for Others to benefit From. Over Here I Knew a Fella who had a Exhaust Shop Make Up a Set of Extractors, But Didn't Keep a Template. So the Next Fella Also had to Fork Out $2,000 to have His Set Made...

O.K. Stupid Suggestion Time. Thirty Years Ago I was Looking at Installing Disc Brakes onto a 1959 Dodge Custom Royal. Having Played with Dodge Phoenix / Plymouth Fury Most of My Life I was Familiar with the Fact That Chrysler Mostly Didn't Change Specs If They Didn't Have to. So I Tried Fitting...

G'Day, Even Though I'm Still Confused LOL, Thanks to Everyone who Chipped In with Advice. Regards Tony.M

O.K. So What I am Failing to Understand is Why there is a Right & Left If Reversing on the One Side Makes No Difference. Anyway I won't Bother you Fellas Anymore Until I have done Some Serious Research. LOL I Will Add One Comment that I Found on Line & This is For the Fella that Asked the...

O.K. Just Ignore me If I'm Being Too Painful. But to Put it as Simply as I Can. Picture a Wall Clock Reading 3 o'clock, Turn it to face the Wall and If you could read it from this side it would read 9 o'clock. What I am saying is that a Torsion Bar has a Built in Bias in ONE direction. (It's...

Boy oh Boy! I'm really having Trouble with This. If the Bar is Twisting Clockwise & Then you Spin it 180 Degrees Horizontally It will be Twisting Anti-Clockwise. Which means That instead of Pushing the L/C/A in a Downwards Direction it Will be Pushing the L/C/A in an Upwards Direction. Please...

O.K. Fellas You've got me Scratching my Head. The Way I Figure It, A Torsion Bar is Twisting to the Left on the Drivers Side Thereby Forcing the Lower Control Arm Down. If you Reverse It, It Will Then be Forcing the L/C/A Upwards? Am I Having a Mental Block ? Regards, Tony.M

G'Day, The Way I Figure it if you Put it in back to Front it's going to be Twisting the Opposite Direction to what it should be. You haven't seen a Mopar with a Broken Torsion Bar? They Look Like a Ruptured Duck LOL The Broken Side Hit's the Deck! Regards Tony.M
