Just to update, built the Helmholtz for mine now and “WOW” the difference is night and day! Tucked up out of sight with 2” adjustable slide and now in the process of painting them with black Vht. Thanks for the info

Hi, I have read up on Helmholtz resonators as I too have a bad drone at cruising rpm 188-2100 ish! I have seen the pictures of what you have made and I’m going to give it a go on my 360 duster! Could I just ask you what size tubing you used? My pipes are 2.5” so I was thinking 2” for the...

you were recommended to me but your international shipping was very expensive ($108 compared to others between $26 and $56), but thanks anyway chris

hi all, could anyone recommend somewhere to get replacement side and rear panel stripes for my 74 duster as I've just had it painted and it's looking a bit plain. Hopefully someone knows of a good quality supplier who'd ship overseas. Thanks in advance. I'll try and add pics of before and now.

Does anyone have a `73 up duster with twin hood scoops so I can see what they look like as really like the style but cant picture them on a 74 hood? Ill try to put on a pic of the ones I like. thanks chris

No fender tag present sadly

great link thanks

Would anyone know the correct paint code/name for my `74 duster 360? I don't have a pic to hand but its the one in my profile picture. Unless of course anyone remembers my car as it was painted about 5 years ago and knows what paint was used? I know its a longshot but I purchased it early...

could have been the one I bought!

Ok thanks, I don't see any canisters or such fitted to my car so maybe changed about over the years, but it didn't do it on the old cap so any have to just put that one back on

hi, I've just fitted a chrome gas cap to my '74 360 duster and have since noticed a big hiss when the gas cap is opened which wasn't there before! I refitted the old one for a trip out and checked when home and there was no hiss? I believe both caps are vented as that's what was ordered! Should...

Same issue with the same size 255`s here in the uk, my dealer over here brushed me off claiming it was dirt as it was the rears only even though id only covered 11 miles on them (winter).

Thanks, that actually makes a lot of sense! Do you have a miracle cure for a leaky axle tube where it meets the centre section too without stripping the whole rear end, as that's next on my leak list lol

The fluid geyser I have is on the 1st downwards stroke of the pedal not the return release stroke which is what led me to "air in the master cyl", the pedal does feel good and I have adusted the brakes further than I normally would. Maybe its normal and I just need to find a good quality lid...

that's a very good point you make about the air could be elsewhere, I was assuming as I`d bled the system several times that it was where I couldn`t get at (in the cyl), maybe a big syringe full of fluid from the wheel pushing back is the way to go
