Also ,is this price a little high to you guys,I have been looking for these for over a year now and this is the first time i have seen them!! thanks in advance for helping a chrysler owner in need!

ha! greetings from sunny london ,england(not ontario)!

a stupid question,would 8 amp wire be ok to wire some unity foglamps,a unity spotlight,a mopar trunk light AND a six volt siren(very exciting!) in my 48 new yorker?I only ask as i can get some very cheaply!!! I know amps=watts/volts but cannot face buying lots of different types as i am bound to confuse them!
-
is that a new yorker?will the roberts one fit my 48 new yorker and did you use any glue as well?Lot of stories about the vent seal being too small/different sizes etc,I am slightly confused!! thanks,william,lovely colour by the way..

hi ,I am thinking of buying one of these ,seemingly pointless,dress up items ,does anyone have one,or indeed have an opinion about them ?Pictures please!!
-
I found a metal box ,marked key safe wedged in the chassis rail,looked inside and found 3 spare keys!!! Very happy indeed as in england it's a pain to get spares cut..also found a black/white photo of the car when it was new,sure theres more to find yet..

i spoke to a very nice gentleman at greenwich today and he confirmed they can certainly weld a cast iron manifold!! He said that a photo of the offending part emailed to him will be studied and a price idea will be given.Am interested as well since i think i have a crack in my exhaust manifold starting too,damn it!
-
2 ideas spring to mind,1) south africa ,maybe an old rhd chrysler there.2)there is a process (oxygen free welding i think) that can fix cast iron manifolds in London ,BUT,I would imagine ,insanely expensive! They are castironwelding in greenwich,would be interesting to know their price!!

hi , i just fitted my "new" 802 radio ,about £300 including the ipod connector and an ipod dock that sends out 12 volts even though the radio is still 6 volt ,I bought speakers and made a mounting bracket by bastardising the old one behind the dash.It works perfectly and looks completely stock ,the ipod goes in the glove box.Even the different coloured lights for the different tones work!!Adrian James is the name of the gentleman ,cannot recommend him highly enough!

hi ,wish my 48 new yorker coupe had been there too ! Finally picking it up with its new mot tomorrow and then to ipswich of all places to get it registered and ready to drive at last! Any thoughts where to buy a new battery in london by the way?

hi robin, i just got my 48 chrysler new yorker coupe and it failed the mot on a few issues ,i wonder if you think it should have?The garage said the single large brake light was insufficient and also it must have windscreen washers,any thoughts?Also ,did you change your headlamp units ,if so ,what to ? Thanks for your input,william
