    Front door hinge repair/replacement.

    They are both good finds. I did find these ones (right here in NZ) but it required drilling out the hinges to accept the bushes, which i didn't want to do. And I need to get this repair done before the next Warrant of Fitness (WoF - 6 monthly safety inspections for cars registered before 2000)...

    Front door hinge repair/replacement.

    Hi, I did end up buying this kit, measurements as per picture attached. On a side note the bushes are too tight so I'm going to have to ream them a little.

    Carb losing fuel over night.

    Did you end up fitting an electric pump? I'm tired of having to crank and crank to fill up the bowl too. Thanks

    Front door hinge repair/replacement.

    Good idea. What about the bushes, were yours not worn?

    Front door hinge repair/replacement.

    Hi all. I have a 79 Diplomat station wagon and the drivers door hinges are quite badly worn in the pins and/or bushes, been looking around for replacements without much luck. Any links where to buy? Did find this pin/bush kits but quite expensive (even more so when converted to NZ dollars)...

    Hi, would you have a link for a 2 barrel carb for a 360 in my 79 Diplomat? Thanks

    Thanks for the welcome. Just did a search on how many Diplomats are in NZ and apparently there are only 2.

    Hi, just joined and wanted to introduce myself. Been around Mopars all my live and have just bought off my Dad a 79 Diplomat station wagon, a very rare vehicle here in New Zealand. 360/auto, and it is a ex-hearse. My other Mopars are a 68 (Australia) Chrysler Valiant with slant 6, a 75 Dodge...

    Body mounting clips

    Hi all. Would anyone have the Mopar part number for these clips, I think 2 clips are marked WF8 and the other one WF1??? For a 1979 Diplomat station wagon - chrome strip on rear hatch. Having trouble finding new ones. Thanks.
