Sniper Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 You are welcome. If you have a parts manual (get one) it's in the steering section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Riding Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Unfortunately, he wants $16.99 for shipping an item that is less than 1 ounce. Put in a USPS envelope is $0.60. Maybe an alternate $1.00 spring from Tru-Value Hardware or Home Depot would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing sir, add the $16 into the price for the hard to find spring and call it free shipping? I'd feel better about it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 pay to play......after all, another member here did all your legwork at no cost to you in locating part number and part....a quest you failed miserably by your own admission...add it in and call it free shipping, pay shipping same dollars again, by you own words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 sometimes you can get lucky by using Partsoice.com searching for a part number. It searches every participating dealer's inventory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcDeSoto Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I'm sure you can't find this spring at Home Depot or a hardware store. It is very specialized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I have so much "junk". For example, there is a spring of somewhat similar design on the hood latch on the P15s. Mine was mangled. I found one that would work in my junk parts, one that came out of a printer. But I know that at least one of the springs that hold the window rollers in tension against the tracks is broken, and that's also a spring that will not be found in a hardware store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Once upon a time, I made a special spring for the window, from a binder clip part, as inspired by a safety pin. (I couldn't find a blanket pin, like I had in the Boy Scout days.) That was years ago, (the window repair, and also the Boy Scouts) and the window still works 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I fabricated a jig and made about 16 of these one time.....used spring steel, heat tempered for to retain the correct spring tension.....simple and easy.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 For small and light weight items I always as the seller if he can do a better price on the shipping fees. Sometimes they will adjust and sometimes they will not. Also remember that the seller will lose approx 10% for the sale and the fees from Ebay. So sometimes they up the shipping cost to make a better profit. Also have to remember that they purchased the item and have been sitting on it for maybe a long time before selling one so you are thelucky person that gets hit with the upgraded price. Here is a very unique situation that happened several years ago at Hershey. I was a t a vendors site and a gentleman came to his table. He said out loud tha a piece of trim on his table was the missing part for his car. First mistake. The item was NOS and the seller was asking $35 for the item. The buyer offered $25 for the item and the seller said it was $35. The buyer kept trying to dicker for a lower price and everytime the buyer said something the seller increased the price by $5.00. This went on and the price got to be around $60. The seller asked for the trim back and then snapped it in have and said to the buyer that he had enough of his bickering and that no one will get the item. The buyer went nuts. The important thing to remember is that if someone has the item you need and or want they control the selling price and shipping and handling costs. So yes, it is now harder to get items at a cheaper shipping but this is reality, so you have the option to buy the item or not buy the item. If you need it then you pay the price to play in a big guys world. I have been a vendor at Hershey for several years and under stand the process.

mvpcustoms Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Understood, personally I have no problem paying $50 with free shipping for a hard to find part. I guess it's just in how you word it? made some progress though on the shifter arms, had to rebend them somewhere along the line the one got bent. I'll do the fine tuning when I get the column back in. Working on ac and front end now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvpcustoms Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think this front end has been replaced with dodge parts, what do the experts say. Everything else says and matches Plymouth but this grill with the round lights on the outside. Frame shows signs of repair from an accident before.

Hey sniper you got any leads on hardware/bolt kits for this 50 deluxe? All I see are fine thread, I can blast and paint but then you have to repaint after tightening?
