As I have laid my hands on a 8 1/4" rear axel for her I have had some valuable tips regarding swapping from 7 1/4". The axel is in fine fettle and complete. I know I have to have a shorter differential and that represent no problem as a friend of mine has the correct one here in Norway. But...

Hi all of you members from an update from Scandinavia. My G22 1978 is slowly coming along during my slow restauration. Time does not permit me many days off to carry on. Having said that I had trouble with the instrument panel not working as it should. The voltage regulator packed in (what I...

Hi all, I was lucky to get hold of an electric antenna for my G22 1978 model on EBay. Looking forward to fit it on the car. Some photos of the set, original package with part number and unopened envelope with mounting screws etc. Feels good. Anyone of you having or have had this type of...

I shall swap my 7 1/4" rear axel to the better one 8 1/4" on the G22 1978 One question arise: The 8 1/4" seems to have 11" brake drums. My 7 1/4" not sure as the car is stored in our house over in Sweden. I have a feeling it has 10". Spare brake linings and all fittings bought a year ago. If so...

Hi all, I carry on with my G22 and have more or less sorted out the rear bumper. Had the back of it sandblasted locally. A nice job and I have also used two layers of rust killer on the bare metal, two priming coat on top and finish now with glossy paint two layers and a coat layer coming up...

Hi all, As you know my G22 has the 7 1/4" rear axel. I have been told that the 8 1/4" is better and stronger. I do not know why my G22 had the smaller one as the engine is a 3.18. Anyway, I may have come across a 8 1/4" locally from a Dodge Dart. Will that one be all right "Straight put on" or...

Nothing new from the Scandinavian part of the world apart from lots of snow and cold. Anybody have some pictures of a G22 Diplomat with a towing hook attatched? My 1978 Coupe had a towbar and hook when I bought it in 1990 but I threw it away when monting a new petrol tank in her. Drawing or...

I have a slight problem regarding spares for my G22 Dodge. Lucily I have got most of the stuff needed from three suppliers of NOS and seconhand spares. For that I am very thankful and praise goes to them. However, one company puzzels me. I have written to the company and checked their homepage...

Hi all, I have found localy in Norway a decent rear bumper for my Diplomat G22 1978 Dodge. Chrome is very good and of course rusty on the backside. Will use my compressor and have it blasted with fine sand. That is no problem at all. After that I shall prepare it on the backside with proper...

Hi all, As I am very grateful for the Forum and its members I feel I should do something back to you. I believe a lot of our members here have access to spares books and need some help to find a complete list of Tape stripes for the various models. Starting yesterday I have found the following...

cI have got the correct color for the old Girl from a local supplier. The names have changed from the original 1978 code to the new code on the attached photo. Anyone of you who may give me a hint of the stripes on the car? I am not sure this is original; it looks like, but from the spares...

Hi all, I have attached a copy of the mouldings I am missing for my old Girl. The mouldings are green, but any colour would do the trick for me as paint should be possible to use. My mouldings are green and attatched copy from the Spares Manual and a few others to clearigfy what I am after. The...

My 1978 Dodge Le Baron (Yes, it is called that in Norway) are under restoration. I have had a closer look at the rear bumper and I would better replace that with a "not so rusty one" on the left side. I cannot find it in my spares catalogue from 1978. Attached a photo of th bumper. I should also...

I am a gentleman from Norway with an old girl from 1978 that I dusted off our mothball storage. I bought her in 1990 and stored her for over 22 years in Norway for 10 years and here in Sweden another 13 years. She is in fine fettle and runs sweet and easy starter. This is the third Dodge we...

My old girl need a new bushing on the windscreen motor. I packed in and seem impossible to get hold of. I have noted that this is a special one and will not fit the one reproduced for Cordoba as per attached photo. From the Spares Manual I got hold of from Coller Dodge way back in the late 1990...
