Hello from Italy
my 58 Chrysler has a leak from the power steering pump. Where can I find a
rebuilt pump, or a rebuild kit?
Thank you for the help, and happy new year to all!
Antonello Jelitro

Good Morning,

After a very long wait, my G is finally in the hands of an extremely
qualified body man.

I do no plan on removing the entire dash. Has anyone replaced the
Windlace that runs along the inside of the A pillar and goes behind the
leading edge of the dash? If so, how was this accomplished without
removing the entire dash?

Next, it appears as though there was light overspray on the
matting/soundeadener on the inside of the trunk lid. What is the correct
finsih for this padding?

Happy Holidays,

Richard Osborne

Richard ,

Gary Goers sells repro windlace that is very intelligently designed, with
2
cardboard panels sewn on to go between the dash and the windshield pillar.
This allows one to replace the windlace without removing the dash.

The trunklids were painted at the factory with the padding in place;
therefore, whatever color the car is was oversprayed onto the trunk inner
surfaces and sound deadening panels.

Hello Richard,
The overspray inside the trunk is original. Leave it as is unless you plan
on repainting the car a different color.

On the windlass replacement. It's best to remove the dash to do this as
the
original windlass is fastened to the door jamb with special "tacks" that
slip through the windlass tail  into predrilled holes in the jamb. You
will
find these when you remove the old windlass and can reuse them if they are
not rusted solid or completely rotted away as may be the case with the
ones
at the bottom. I replaced the windlass in a 64 Newport conv once with out
removing the dash and could never get the windlass to stay glued up behind
the dash corners and it was constantly falling out. If you do remove the
dash, reinstalling it is best done with a helper or two. Make sure the new
windlass is fastened securely especially in the area that is inaccessible
behind the dash when it is in place. Place a thin piece of sheet metal or
other suitable thin and tough sheet material against the corners of the
windowpost/door jamb area and slide the dash into place and re bolt it.
The
sheet metal serves to protect the new windlass from damage from the sharp
edges on the dash assembly. Hope this info from my past experience is of
some help.

Dave Schwandt
