Subject: reproduction dome lenses
Does anyone know the quality of the 57-59 dome lenses sold on ebay by
desotogeorge in Queensland Australia??? I need some for my 57-C and any
suggestions will be appreciated.......thanks, Rusty in Oregon 57 300-C
coupe
Hi Rusty and Thelma,
Dave here, in New Zealand. Firstly,I have not seen George's
lenses, other than on e-Bay. We first corresponded some years back,
though, as you may guess, DeSoto is his car, but George is a MoPar guy
thru' and thru'.
It is great to see the repro lenses, and some metalwork too (
the gold V for the '57 Plymouth, for instance) that George is doing. Had I
not got 2 decent dome light lenses in my car, plus a NOS pair of '60
Chrysler dome light lenses, #2080280, on the shelf in my shed, bought from
a well known NOS MoPar supplier back in 1995 @ $17.50 each, I'd sure be
looking hard at these repros. Looks like a pair of repro '57'-'60's is
around $40. I look at everything Mopar and '60'ish on e-Bay, hardly ever
see these NOS any more, sometimes, but rarely.
e-Bay is a minefield, at times. My best advice is to look at
desotogeorge's feedback, as that more or less says he's a good guy with
good stuff.
I know that George has been working on these repro projects
for quite a while now, and anyone who has tried molding lenses/medallions,
anything from modern 'so-called' plastics will tell you that it is no
breeze.
As these are relatively new on the scene, I guess quality will
be assessed by the passing of time.
My suggestion is to e-mail George and ask some questions.
Check out the satisfied customers of his lenses, from complete '58 DeSoto
tail light sets to his repro dome lights.In my opinion, ANYONE making good
repro stuff for our cars should be supported. Our Club is right up the top
there with anyone, as we all know, with all the splendid repro projects
that they have undertaken over the 8/9 years I have been a keen
member.There are not a lot on the ground, though.
Roll on '60 Chrysler tail light lenses !
Cheers all,
Dave.

Subject: 68 300
I have a 1968 300 ans we took it for a ride yesterday, only second time
this
year. We have developed a whistling sound when I accelerate. Sounds like
the
wind. Does not do this in neutral and revving the engine. Any ideas?
Sounds
like it is coming from under the dash.
I also have a 1999 Sebering convertible that has a problem. When braking
the
steering wheel oscillates in your hand and you feel a slight , how to
describe it, rum rum rum in the front end. Hope someone has the answers.
Could this be the roter in the disk brakes? The car has only 40000 miles
on
it. Chuck

Subject: Oil Slinger?
For my 1962 300 413 motor:
Behind the timing cover, sitting on the end of the crankshaft is an
aluminum piece that I'm looking for. I think it's an oil slinger?
Does anyone have one to sell me and can anyone tell me how it goes on &
what it does?
Thanks,
Matt Allyn

Does anyone have sugestions on how to go about cleaning the fuel tank on a
C
that has been sitting for 20 years. How does the fuel tank filler tube
connect to the tank? If I break that seal, is there a source for a new
one?
Is the fitting on the bottom of the tank a drain? Does that fitting
come
out with an allen wrench? Any help is appreciated Vince

Subject: Re: Oil Slinger?
They usually go on, wih the dished side to the front. Its purpose is to
shield the front cover oil seal from being drowned in oil, causing it to
leak. A slinger from any big block (361-440) should work there, if you can
find another old engine to rob.

Does it have a Holley carb ? Might be an air leak from a dried-out
metering
block gasket.

My '95 Intrepid was that way, had the front brake rotors machined &new
pads
installed and it was fixed.

compartment? Or flat black?

Subject: 300-C Dome lenses
Thanks everyone for the advice on the dome lenses made in Austrailia by
Desotogoerge a seller on E-bay...I have sent for a pair and have been
assured by quite a few that they are of high quality and worth buying.
The seller has also told me he is in the process of making the park lenses
for the 57's also. Rusty in Oregon 300-C coupe

Subject: Re: Oil Slinger?
actually it isnt aluminum, its steel and the engines that can be donors
are the 350=361=383=400=413=426wedge and hemi, and the 440 and be sure
to use one, the engine will absolutely pour oil out w/o it..
