  1. depends on the quality of the can as built...like many things there are benefits and like most thing that are made, the cheap knock off price in inviting....son justput one on his turbo equipped road machine..
  2. I have both the 41 and 47 Dodge Town Sedan with the 47 being even more limited made Town Sedan Special. You don't see these everyday for sure.
  3. Thanks Los, these straps are not heavy duty for sure but will do the job they are specific for. Plans at most for these is to tie down a small motorcycle/minibike at best. Odds are even that will not happen at least for the immediate future. I have not even started the minibike build that will be matching color to the van's two-tone paint. With the van pretty much squared away I will now have to do a bit of arranging a couple of barn bays and clean the shop. The speedometer corrector came in today and now with all the mixed and matched gear train changes along with the really odd revs per mile Brit speedometer, it is dead on with the built in GPS. I did this afternoon sew a matching brown document envelope cover for the US postal envelope behind the tie downs, running a YOM tag the current tag has to be inside the vehicle somewhere and this envelope works best for me. Am going to say this segment is now what I want it to look like. So last weekend before Christmas, going to make the best of it. Going to get out to the shop and do something even if it's wrong...!!!
  4. well, you can choose what to set it at.....this is the specs by per the factory book and just what you asked for...
  5. if and when possible I use seals from Clester's....they have the correct durometer unlike so make others made that cause the door to not shut p
  6. My first rendition of the cargo floor I got what I was shooting for but it turned out it was not what I really wanted. So today, I revisited the cargo floor today and refinished the original wood and then moved on to installing a remnant of carpet complete with cut outs for the 4 tie downs I installed.
  7. hey, it's an open forum and no one knows when and what the next guy may be typing.....I don't consider it as harm or foul...
  8. As the largest post on the battery is the positive one and GIVEN your cables are on the car yet, simply trace the larger battery terminal, it it goes to the block it is + gnd. IF it goes to the starter solenoid...the vehicle has been changed to - gnd.
  9. if you plan on running radials throw these caster measurements in the trash can...
  10. if you have a question on the size of the seal verse the size of the shaft it rides on, what measurement did you arrive at and based on the tolerance of seal to shaft in most machining handbook, you should quickly arrive at your answer.
  11. acetone is a fast drying wipe and likely not to soak in...personally I often wipe items I am about to spray with die with naphtha. Sure it is personal call and maybe what you have on hand. I would not use the alcohol as the substrate would remain to wet for too long.
  12. the last item has been found....these T/S indicators were the cats meow for utilizing the same holes the boomerang mirrors as originally fitted to the fender. They are full functional with the T/S's of the Morris and were 100% plug and play into the factory harness. This was a total WIN for me with the removal of the fender mirrors and subsequent installation of the units on the doors. the group here did good picking these items out.....want to try to the interior upgrades....that would be a two page list, nah, not go there.
  13. hey, you did good as the one you found is not readily seen in the photograph, the rocker moldings are beltline molding off the P23...bumper guards and turn signals are factory pieces for a Morris Minor,
  14. You did good and when finished, knock it down and have the metal for the next project. I have a metal recycling place near me and they first sell as many parts off a car they take in before crushing it. I make out well not only in car parts but recycled metal like angle iron and such for my projects for pennies on the dollar as compared to other place, often on the metal the picking is limited...but have made off with some excellent deals.
  15. one out of three is not bad......roof rack you got right, it's an altered Plymouth Voyager. Wipers are stock Morris and the mirrors are Ford. I had two set of Dodge mirrors but the larger foot print mounts and overall larger Dodge mirror heads took them out of the running for install. Items not guessed are from a P23 4 door and circa 70 C/P/D-D truck. This list the 4 items not made for the Morris as seen in the pic, (fog lights were available but these are aftermarket) there are three items at the rear not stock, third high mount brake light and the cut and altered step bumper and body flush mount reverse camera. These vans never got a factory bumper, I refuse to run without a bumper.
  16. The van has been out and about for a few runs over the past couple weeks or so. Shake down runs if you will. First run to town resulted in me benching the unit for better mirrors as the wing mirrors were useless. With that done I got it back out and rear vision I may add, is excellent, do not look through the vent, nor is vent post is the view and with a passenger in the other seat, unobstructed view. Other folks fitting door or peep mirrors still list these issues with their mirrors. Moving on, my lane change results in a bit of dip, I have no dive in braking so I either have too much sidewall flex. Too light an oil in the shock or need a sway bar. Well benched for a few days as the sway parts all arrived and installed, it immediately correct 50% + of dip but I wish a bit stiffer. Will run it next with bit more air in the tires and trying to locate some higher viscosity shock oil without having to buy 1 or 5 gallon containers. The stance is in my opinion about 2-3 inches less that the profile I like in the rear and will install some air shocks to get the look I like. Other than that, she is checking out well, I am not having issues sifting left-handed as I thought I might. Three obvious Mopar parts shown....
  17. you need to either learn to do this or find a capable shop to toss your money at....
  18. I am thinking the 'auto correct' stuck here....I would suggest 'tail light king'
  19. you neglect the fact I called two specific brand...these are calibrated....of course you squeeze them but you CANNOT over crimp....
  20. I would suggest investing in a nice set of staking pliers....Klien or Stake-On brands come to mind... I like my dimmer switch....the little red button on the shift knob...and like most modern cars today, it is operated by the left hand as the car is RHD.....(the console I installed ahead of the shifter leaves zero room for the original switch and plinth)
  21. I feel your pain but the only advice I can give, you need to start doing your own repairs....did you get your solenoid back from the man....?
