Re: [Chrysler300] aussie weather & few 300 qs - sun Time in the NW of USA

For anyone replacing a dash pad with the Just Dashes or new Swedish made pad 

on a C it's a straightforward job. The toughest part is getting under the dash to release 

the clips on the defroster outlets. I think it was easier removing the radio to access the clips. 



It's easy to get sidetracked cleaning all the bits that have been removed and parts of the dash 

that were never accessible before. It is a good time to consider repainting the defroster 

outlets,speaker cover and dash moldings. Also consider reconing the radio speaker if its torn. 



Remember to cover the carpet. The old foam under the dash pad willl have an incredible stickiness to it  

and stains the carpet or anything fabric a brown/orange color. I doubt the stains will come out. 



I used a Just Dashes pad. That pad fit nicely but had a fair amount of flash around the openings 

that had to be trimmed with a razor knife. It's easy to slip. The Swedish pads may 

not have that flash problem.

A note to all about Chris's weather reports. Adelaide has a desert to the 
North and the Southern Ocean and Antarctica to the South so the weather 
depends on which way the wind blows. Chris, move to Brisbane. It is much 
more pleasant. 

1 Why bother with a silent chain? They wear out quicker and even cost more. 
I got my premium double roller chain and sprockets from Performance 
Automotive Warehouse in the US to suit 392 for US $40. Buy new keys at the 
same time. PAW provides very good service with parts at your door in one to 
two weeks. 

2 Just keep pulling the bits off until there is nothing left covering the 
vinyl. Not a small task. I tried to get mine remade locally but found it 
was cheaper to import one from Sweden - because they already have the moulds 
and the guy here is a #*@*!. I haven't put it on yet but it looks perfect. 

3 Read the 57 Service Manual to see what you need to do. It is very 
comprehensive. You can get them on ebay for US$40 if you don't have one. 
Getting the transmission in and out is probably the hardest thing. 

4 I'd like to know too - no rush though. 

Note to 300C/D/E owners with spares. I am still chasing a chrome air scoop 
bezel - any condition. Please look on the Parts Wanted section of the club 
website. 

Cheers

Third day of over 105 muggy degrees here, in mid south of Australia, (still 
just under 100 outside at 11pm now) but on north east side, capital "Surfers 
Paradise" (sort of like your Miami only smaller) just had it's wettest night 
in 125 years of records - over 2 feet in a day. Global warming - who really 
knows, since the bulldozer and chainsaw invented lots of trees/rainforrest 
chopped down, maybe that a possible best cause??! 

few 300 Questions (1) is the timing chain in a 300C 392 the same as 318s, 
wedges, and what are better brands still available without going double row? 

(2) does the dashtop of a 300C just unbolt/unscrew fairly easily so you can 
better recover the original vinyl that is pretty sad on least loved 3rd 
300C, and what is best way (steps) to remove one? 

(3) how big/nontricky a job is it to put a new convertor seal in a cast iron 
torquefilight if one removes/unbolts it from the motor/car? 
(4) what happened re maybe making replacement plastuic armrest bases for 
300Cs - any news/updates? 

Christopher in Australia - our nation's biggest Annual outdoor swap just a 
few weeks way - Ballarat in Victoria, it usually over 100 degrees first two 
days, then huge dust/wind, followed by rain on the Sunday - about 3000 
sites, and they sold out ages before
