    Switching to manual steering. Column coupler up to the task?

    That's good to hear, I have the one piece adapter that Mancini sold, but my main concern was the long term durability of the PS coupling, as I thought maybe it wasn't designed for the stresses of turning a manual box. My box is slow ratio, so that will mean it's not too hard to turn, but hoping...

    Switching to manual steering. Column coupler up to the task?

    I'm removing my power steering and putting an alloy manual box in. Wondering if the coupler on the power steering shaft is strong enough to use with manual steering? Anyone had any issues? Is there a difference between power and manual steering couplers?

    What battery tray is this?

    Must be pretty rare, sure haven't seen a replacement tray anywhere. I'm wondering why my duster would've needed it in the first place? Just a 225 without A/C.

    Cable for fuel cap retention?

    That's a cunning Idea, more elaborate than I was thinking, but it has got me thinking.

    Cable for fuel cap retention?

    Somehow I doubt my cap would dangle and bang around anymore than the cap on my Town and country, and the chance of me not seeing it hanging there when hoping in to drive is equally remote, but I have left a cap on a petrol pump (there when I got back) and on the roof slid off and damaged on...

    Cable for fuel cap retention?

    Has anyone secured their standard twist on fuel cap with a cable, to stop light fingered folk taking them, or just losing them?

    What battery tray is this?

    It's identical to a normal a-body tray but an inch longer and with the side bit that sticks out, makes it a little wider.

    What battery tray is this?

    Nope, not that either. It's got me stumped.

    What battery tray is this?

    That's a pre 70. Tray. But what I want to know has anyone seen a tray like this? It's not like any a-body tray I've seen yet is a fit. Was there a bigger battery option perhaps?

    What battery tray is this?

    Got this rusty tray in my 75 duster, I'm thinking it's not an original A-body. What is it from if not an A-body? Anyone got any ideas? Its over an inch longer than normal a-body tray, and fits the 70 and later a-bodys that only use 3 bolts.

    Oil temp sender location with right angle filter adapter.

    Was hoping to get away without putting it on the pan, I figured the filter adapter must be a good spot for oil temp?

    Oil temp sender location with right angle filter adapter.

    Hi guys, wanting to hook up oil pressure and oil temp gauges some time, and wondered if anyone has either used an oil filter sandwich with a right angle adapter or has anyone hooked a sender to the spot with a plug on the right angle adapter?

    Some of my 1/18 A-bodies

    I can only suggest try some of the decal sellers on eBay. Some of them print in all sorts of scales.

    Petty chargers

    I got to get one of those 72's. I heard they were a re-release of the old MPC kits? Make sure you show us when you open them.

    Cleaning matte dash paint, any tricks?

    Soaked my rusty ash tray in evaporust and it cleaned up amazingly, but for some reason the black paint looks really nice now, while the rest of my dash looks pretty crap. Short of soaking my dash in a giant pot of evaporust what's a good way to tidy up faded old dash paint?
