Thanks Martin for your information. As far as I can see now the only parts that may be needed or made by myself are the rear leaf spring hangers part number 4052205

Finally I managed to get hold of rear spring plates for my 8 1/4" rear axel. They were most welcome and have been sandblasted. A norwegian company, probably a spin off from the oil industry over here, supplied me with a set for rustprotection. Two layers of "rust sealer" then another layer of...

Hi Martin, Thanks for your speedy reply. Having checked over and over again the Tape stripes for my 1978 I have seen so many different stripes on the same model, as it more or less have made me dizzy. There is no easy way to find out so finally I have made up my mind to use the same pattern as...

A 1978 model G22 as per attached photo. The car has today stripes from a 1979 Le Baron as it was called that when imported in 1983. Probably done by the Norwegian importer. Side markings are Le Baron too and on the trunk. The reason was probably because the Diplomat name "belonged" to GM's Opel...

Thanks Martin and a Happy Easter to you and yours. I will certainly check them out. Gunnar

Thanks a million for your mail and instructions. I have found the two (?) companies on the Internet and will drool over what they can offer. Finally I found out that in the Spares book I have been blind looking at Chrysler Le Baron instead of Dodge Diplomat G22. Reason is very simple: The...

Thanks for your mail and hints and advice. I have finally managed to find out the correct spares number for my Dodge Diplomat G22 What have made me confused was that it came with LE BARON stripes and not DIPLOMAT stripes. The reason for that is still not clear but as the name DIPLOMAT was an...

Dear all of you, Spares for my 1978 G22 are now or less completed as I have got hold of most parts from various supplyers. Having said that I have checked and doublechecked looking for the correct set of tape stripes. I presume I have looked for the wrong stipes as per attached photo. This...

Fantastic! They look like new more or less. Sandblasting I can do locally. Give me a price for all your trouble and costs and I shall send you money thru Paypal as that is swift and secure.

An early morning seek made things clear for me. I must admit that I had thought new shocks had to be like this. Mine original are on the outside of the springs while the B-body style shocks are on the inside of the springs. Then it should not be difficult to use the set from Firm Feel Inc...

Good morning Mike and thanks for your mail. I feel the same as you about redrill wider hole spacing. To have two made locally could be a good idea but over here there are no craftsmen or workshop dealing with that. The skilled labour force are gone donkeys years ago due to computers and...

Thanks for your mail and one thing puzzels me: The upper spring plate where the shocks are fastened may need to be modified to accept the U-bolts as the axel is 1" wider. As from the spares list I have they have different numbers. 7 1/4" axel plate has number 3845 168-9 and the 8 1/4" has 3845...

I forgot to tell you that all other parts and bushings have already been bought. Shakles and bushes all shopped from local suppliers over here and from the USA. Arizona Spares, Martin, has supplied genuine Mopar parts so I am confident all should fit perfect. I must admit I am steering clear of...

Thanks Mike for your advice and things have cleared a bit now. I have contacted the company and a reply came prompt. I have asked them to pick what I need for the job as the only thing I am a bit worried about is the angle of the shock absorber. I have a feeling these has to be replaced with a...

I have just started to go thru the instructions regarding the springs and change the rear axel on my G22. Gosh, I feel like an idiot sometimes as it must be 50 years ago I was under a car with springs like this. I had a BMC 1800 and a Ford Transit at that time, all gone years ago! Now things...

Again thanks a million for your wonderful help. I have downloaded all text and will carefully read everything and check it all over. My car is 100% original at the rear end apart from I have cleaned up and have a good rear bumper to fit when time and weather allows. Sorry to pester you but a...

Thanks a million for your suggestions. I will certainly have a closer look at your post. !!! Gunnar

A quick note regarding my G22: I have done most of the restoration inside the car and got the parts I need. From Arizona spares I have got a lot of spares and must praise Martin for excellent service, help and parts. Checking Chinese spares I got hold of over here and compare those with the US...

Looks good to me and I will search for them. Thanks for your help

I have tried and find someone who have these parts but no luck so far. Maybe the sliding sunroof is different from the 1978 one? Have a go with these companies. Good luck and safe driving.

On my G22 1978 I attach some photos to illustrate what I did: An ordinary rubber P list bought from Denmark with 6 mm tube and 1 mm thick "bottom". Contact glue and glued to the roof itself. Do remember not to include the rear side of the sliding roof. If I recall correct the tube (top of the...

I am sorry to say no but I am in Värmland only 30 km from Torsby or 110 km north from Karlstad, Ekshärad.

Over here very few use mudflaps these days due to better roads. Enjoy life, over here 35 degrees C. Will put new brake drums on my G22. One of the old ones had a piece of it broken. Take care and safe driving. Gunnar

Thanks a million for offering your help but such things happen. Another day another possibility. They are out there no doubt but where???

I have just gone thru the spares book and found that the only wheel arches moulding that correspond are those from Diplomat and Chrysler Le Baron. Numbers are: Front 4017808-9 (mine and Le Baron 4 doors sedab) and rear 4017810-1 (only Le Baron 2 doors coupe) The others from Aspen etc starts with...
