[Chrysler300] 1955 Chrysler 300 needs & questions

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

For my 1955 Chrysler 300, I'm looking for the passenger's side trumpet horn
and a pair of the bolts with special ends that are used to connect to the
straps holding the gas tank.  Time and modern fuel had kind of dissolved the
vent hose off the tank and it would leak out the vent when filled.  Unsafe,
not environmentally correct and expensive.

 

Question:

Is it possible the cross member that supports the rear motor mount is not
symmetric?  After removing and reinstalling the cross member to install a
new rear motor mount, I've noticed the drive shaft is not centered in the
front part of the tunnel.  The balance weights make a funny sound when
rubbing against the tunnel with four big passengers in the car.  I'm
wondering if my mechanic might have reversed the cross member.  The front
motor mounts do not appear to be deteriorated and I'm assuming the
driveshaft should be pretty much centered in its tunnel.

 

Any insights would be appreciated.  We'll take some measurements tomorrow,
but I'm real reluctant to just re-drill the cross member to center the
driveshaft.  I'm wondering if the motor mount itself might not be symmetric
and could have been installed improperly.

 

C-300'ly.
