Michael,

I just noticed the others and I failed to answer one of your questions on the clock. You won't find the name Mopar or Plymouth on it. The clock was made by the Borg Clock Works Company. So......the clocks have the name "Borg" stenciled on the back along with the year it was manufactured. But.....don't go by the name only to identify it. The Chrysler, DeSoto and Dodge clocks have the same markings on the back. The key to identification is that knob covering up the number six. That's the only one that will fit the Plymouth.

...hadn't even thought about that for a long time. Where in the world did you come up with that pic? Did someone sell one recently? Not an item I would care to have in my car, but historically speaking it is really cool!

Bob..it might just be the angle of the picture but I don't see the canted face on that besel that the P15 requires...that looks more like a D24 items..got a side view of the assembly..?

No, Tim, I don't have any more pics.

I believe that picture was sent to me by David Maxwell.

IF not him, then by someone on the forum whom I can't recall.

I also have the under hood and trunk light in my coupe. Was there when I bought the car. Would I pay $100 for one? You'd have a sure bet that I would not. In fact' date=' I wouldn't even bother to look for either. Don't use the ones on the car at all.[/quote']

I also have both lights in my Chrysler- don't care too much about them. GM uses similar lights.

Many items for the Mopars were made by 3rd parties and sold under the Mopar logo. The trunk light for the Mopars is no different than that which was used by Ford, Pontiac etc. Consequently, someone started remanufacturing them recently and sells them for around $15 brand new. I picked up a couple when they first came out a few years ago. Someone else picked up a bunch of them and immediately began selling them as Mopar replacements at around $100 each. Look around. You can find them cheap and in perfect working condition for less than $20.

when i was in hershey at the show i bumped into frnk mitchel, cool guy he had a trunk light for slae was debating on buying it, but he wanted 100 for it, seemed pricey for a a small piece of metal with a socket in it?

If your locks work, but just not very well. Did you get new keys made, or are you using the old keys. Keys do wear out over time from use. When I first bought my coupe, the drivers side lock would not turn at all. The passenger door lock barely turned. Also you had to jiggle the key to turn on the ignition. Lubed each lock, got new keys made and they all worked like new again.
