I'd like to determine what the specs are for the latch stud/pin and where the latch stud/pin is located on the seat frame. I assume latch is a pin or stud (not a threaded rod or bolt) as the latch is held to the seat back frame by a retainer/clip.
I looked in the 68 coronet service and parts...
Did you get your Hemi OD trans installed? What rear gears did you select?
I just got one from Passon ..... probably going to 3.91 in my 66 ..... running 28" rear tires also .....
Yes, my understanding is that most 15" Cop wheels are 15x7, 5x4.5", 4.5"BS. However, I believe that some late 60's/early 70's Plymouth Fury cruisers had 15x8 wheels.
Thank-you for the advice.
I took the upper rail out of my parts car this morning. Will clean it up, get some 3/4 square tube and roll the upper edge. Will use it to prototype an L-bracket to box the rail.
All good, discussion and feedback .... also good to know that factory and repros (AMD, I assume?) are so close (aka identical) .... surprise, surprise.
I have the upper rail of the radiator support out of my 67 Coronet parts car ... gonna use it to prototype and test fit the initial L bracket...
Curious, is that pic of a factory upper radiator support of a reproduction?
I just measured the upper rail flange at your arrows on both sides of my factory 66 and 67 radiator supports; as well as, several places across the "flat" top. The measurements vary by .1"; .8" in the radius between...
I appreciate the input. I lifted this concept from an FBBO restomod build, with his permission.
The "L" shape piece is designed to retain stock radiator support dims/overall shape to the extent possible. As you know, the stock radiator support upper rail flange width is held at 1" across the...
There is nothing wrong with my existing radiator support. Probably nothing wrong with most of them.
However, I have my car torn down to the unibody. I've identified all the body areas to be repaired (due to rust, the car was never in an accident). I've obtained the necessary repair parts...
No offense taken ..... cost is what it is as I'm having them made by a shop. I didn't put this offering out to make a profit, just offering to do so for the FBBO membership .....
Looking to gauge interest in other members interest in purchasing a weld-in L-bracket to box an Upper Radiator Support. This bracket should stiffen up your radiator support and associated panels.
I am going to make one for my 66 Coronet. I have used my 66 and 67 Coronet to do the take-offs...
I have a very nice pair of grill surrounds for a 67 Coronet for sale. IMHO, the surrounds are in very good overall condition for their age.
Please be aware both surrounds are missing top of fender mounting straps.
These could either be installed as-is (after you obtain all mounting hardware...
Rough sketch of Inside Wheel Profile - 17" diameter rim provides up to 14.5" diameter x either 4.5" or 5" backspace.
Assumes caliper/rotor stay within red line (perimeter)
Assuming you lay a straight edge (yardstick) across the back of rim -
1. Is the measurement 4.5 or 5" from hub face to bottom of straightedge?
2. What are the measurements from the bottom red line to first, second and third red lines?
a. first line being the start of wheel bead lip...
