I am looking for a '63 (or '64) driver's side (LH) door latch. I don't have a parts manual, so wondering if someone may be able to help please? Also wondering whether rear door latches are the same as front doors, if anyone can let me know please ? TIA Gary

Haven't been on FABO for a looong time (sorry). Still have my '63 'vert down here in Australia. I did a search but can't see much in relation to this question, so please bear with me. I have a problem with the driver's door (LH) not shutting on the striker (weird shaped striker - has teeth on...

Gday, I'm Down Under and have a USA built '63 Plymouth Valiant convertible. It was imported from Ca many years ago. The car has been making clacking noises under the dash ever since I put it on the road. Only does it on bumpy roads, but where I live they are mostly bumpy. I think maybe wiper...

Gday to all. I have a '63 Valiant 'vert with the trunk lock jammed and not wanting to open. The car was brought over to Australia many years ago and the key worked for most of the time that I have had the car. Unfortunately I haven't been able to open the trunk for about 2 years (I hope that my...

Gday, I can't find my current code and I want to place a fairly large order. Shipping to Australia is a real killer so even a small discount helps a bit. Anyone know the current code please? Any help appreciated.

G'day All, I have a USA built (Ca) 1963 Plymouth Valiant (not the Aussie built cars) and it seems that the rear tranny seal is leaking badly. It is the push button 904, of course. Could someone please post a part # for the seal, so that I can source one from over there please ?? I...

For nearly a year now I have had this crazy idea to get a "woody" LeBaron. The 1984/85 LeBaron convertible in the Town & Country livery. (Yes I know it's not an A body) Buying a car from Australia, sight unseen, and the inherent shipping logistics can be a nightmare. :oops: I would like...

How lucky are we on this forum to have so many nice blokes? This time it's one mile from out of SC. I'm down here in Australia and I saw a Mopar (no not Abody- but Mopar) on CL (should have been a warning?) that displayed well in the pics and sounded well in the description. So I jump...

Just wondering whether there are any FABO members living near a place called Greenville, SC, USA? I found a car on CL there and was wondering if someone would be good enough to look at it for me as I have heard lots of bad stories about CL. It ISN'T an A body but IT IS a MOPAR. What I was...

Just a heads up (and yes, I know he often gets a rap) but 66340SEDAN has done it again. Did me one of those "pass it forward" favours and sent me a benchy hinge cover for my '63 Signet. THANKS KEITH - you're a champ

I'm not sure if there are any FABO members reading this who are nearby to a place called Eugene or Springfield in Oregon. I am in Australia and am searching for a part which is listed as being at a wrecking yard known as A1 - Auto Supply. I was hoping that someone may know this mob and be...

G'day, when I got my Abody I asked here for help with the vin decoding, thank you to all who helped. Now I have picked up a '84 LeBaron (no K-cars produced in Australia), still LHD, I am wondering if anyone here can decode the vin and fender tag please. I have found some help on Allpar but...

Hoping someone may be able to answer this tech question on the '63/'64 Valiant heater controls. Do the control knobs for both years have the same length cables? Explanation: I have a '63 but I don't like the heater controls being in the plastic bezel in the middle of the dash down the...

G'day, Not anything that I'm selling. Just a heads up for all you blokes over there in USA. Here in Oz we have a bloke who does a really good reproduction of plastic lenses. I noticed that he has a listing on Ebay Australia for '64 Plymouth Valiant...

G'day. Just got a pair of discs and calipers for an early A down here in Oz. Came off an Australian Valiant. Would like to convert my '63 Signet from front drums to discs. One of the discs has no wheel studs in it (not sure if it's L or R). My question is: Are the wheel studs the same in...

OK, here's another FABO Good Guy Alert (or Good Bloke Alert in this case). Bought a used part from my wanted ad from cosgig. He sent a pic with a very accurate description and shipped promptly to me in Oz. Thanks Geof, you're a good bloke! Another example of a FABO good guy. Appreciate your...

Can anyone assist me with a horn like the one pictured, please? It's a hi note from a '63 Valiant. I was hoping if someone has one working that I could buy it - mine's coughed up it's last little beep. I'd like the same type as in the pic to keep a matched pair. Think that '63, '64 Val or...

Just to shout out that 66340SEDAN has sold me some used parts. Great bloke to deal with - prompt shipping (even though they had to come to Australia) - and parts were exactly as described (sounds like Epay). Thanks Keith - another great bloke on FABO :cheers:

G'day, I have a 1963 Valiant Signet (USA built - LA plant). Arrived in Australia last year. Can anyone on here please help with a decode on the alphabetical part of the fender tag please? Mine is stamped: A = 3 G = 1 J = 5 K = 7 L = 6 N = 8 P = 1 Q = 2 I get the lower portion...

G'day ! Do any of you blokes know how I get the drivers side (yep, LHD - left) vent box out please? The one in my '63 Valiant is squeaking and I would like to clean it up, respray it black, and put it back in with some sort of gasket. Any advice appreciated. THANKS!!! :hello1: Gary

While we're patting backs, let's her it for Commando66. What a champion. I bought from him and a very pleasant and easy transaction. Thanks mate - have a beer on me!:hello1: Gary

I put a post in transmission and drivetrain tech re my 904. Just wondered if anyone reading here might be able to check it out. I need some help please? Many thanks:finga: Gary

G'day! Just wondering whether any of you blokes can help me please? I decided to drain my tranny and put a new filter and fluid in. '63 Valiant, /6 and 904. All went well until I refilled it. I checked the FSM and it said 15 pints. We have been metric here since '66 (DUH!) and the conversion...

OK, thanks for all the tips from everyone in my previous threads on the headlight rings (bezels) for my '63 Valiant Signet. My question this time is this: Should there be some type of clip behind the ring? I have seen some references to the headlight ring "clip", but I've no idea what it...

Just wanted to let everyone know what we already know. Pat Blias is an absolute champion! This gentleman helped me out last year. Answered my (very basic) questions over several emails and was superfast when shipping a gasket kit - even though he was shipping to me down here in Australia...

G'day, I put a post in the convertible A body forum - but unfortunately - no replies!:banghead: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=179731 It is regarding the way that the soft top folds down into the car. If you know anything about the early A converts or have had...

Just checking with you convertible blokes. I have a '63 Signet with the vinyl top. It's not the factory original (I think), I'd say it's a replacement. But I am surprised that there are so many gaps around the quarter windows, I don' wash it with the top up for fear of it filling with water...

G'day, Would any of you blokes have a reasonable to very good set of headlight rings for 63 or 64 or 65 Valiant (Dart don't fit), please? Mine are belted beyond repair. I would like a pair with minimal damage which I can have repaired locally. If you may be able to help would you please...

G'day - looking for some help if you can advise me about a vibration. Firstly it's a '63 Signet Vert. Arrived Downunder early last year. I bought it in April and it needed some work. Replaced the rear floors and repainted the interior. Redid brakes and added booster. Replaced rear uni...
