nemo aussie d25

Dear Dale I had some issues with coolant with my d25 about five years ago. I think I was running a 50/50 mix of glycol at the time. I did some research and discovered that the heat transfer characteristics of glycol were something like 10 percent down on straight water. Could be that small difference could be enough in a borderline cooling system of which still works normally with straight water. I've been using straight distilled water and a corrosion inhibitor ever since and with the standard radiator fan idling in traffic on a 40 degree celcius day did not have the temp gauge get anywhere near 212F.The exact details I can't remember but it would be something to check.

Greetings guys I have got a few pics of my car, including one of an open rear quarter window. Im hoping you guys in the U.S. can see if it looks the same as a P15 Plymouth, including the positioning of the pivot points. From what I understand my 1948 Dodge D25c is a P15 body with dodge D24 trim and assembled in South Australia. The picture taken in front of the pub was down at the rocks in sydney, and you can just see a snippet of the sydney harbour bridge in the top left hand corner. I've owned this car since 2007 and put quite a few very reliable miles on it since then. The paintwork and chrome are pretty rough and the clutch has always shuddered like a pig. But otherwise pretty good for what it is. A couple of questions for Andy. Does your car have the big cross section in the middle of the chassis or not? The post war models did not. And does the fire wall of your car have TJR stamped in large letters. Again the post war models did not. Finally was your dodge sedan based on the equivalent plymouth and also produced as a desoto, like mine was. Yours must have been produced just before they stopped production for the war. Also I have the crca roster sitting here.

Thanks Guys for the advise so far its much apreciated, I will get some pictures up soon, just very time poor at the moment. My car has a single piece rear window and no TJR stamped in the fire wall, I had assummed that after WWII that most of the car may have come over as a kit, as I believe we had steel shortages around that time,and only assembled here with some local content like quarter windows. From what I have determined the door latches are different to the US models as well. Anyway thats all speculation and the origins of the post war models and details would be quite interesting to find out. Mines pretty much stock including the valve radio. -Regards Nemo By the way, Im in sydney.

Greetings,this is my first time on a forum and still finding my way around. I own an Aussie version of the p15 which is a canadian sourced 1948 D25c four door sedan. I read a thread last year about american front quarter window rubber not fitting the Australian version of this car because of a different pivot point in the window. I couldn't find the thread again to re-read. I need to replace the rotten rear quarter window rubbers on my car and was wondering whether proper moulded one peice rubber seals were available in the U.S. and from whom, and whether anyone knows about any possible problems with these, as in fit or dramas with other issues such as different pivot points. Also whether these sources are reliable in supply. The feed back I have had from others here in Australia with the fit of the local product supply hasn't been encouraging, so I figure U.S. might be the only way to go. Any advice would be most welcome.
