Thanks for your help and it is a 3.18 in the car if that is a small block. Could be a good idea though! I will ask the person for a decent price for the lot. My A998 works well since I swapped the gearbox. Will check it over to make sure it is a A998 as the car was laid up for 22 years. Drives...

I have just found a company locally, only a couple of miles away from me who can deal with the problem. Cardanservice.no Thanks for all help so far. Lots of good wishes to you all in this forum

Point taken! Brilliant and I will find a company that should be able to shorten it about 1.6" meaning around 40 mm. Finding a proper one should be difficult over here as Diplomat was not sold in Sweden and the G22 are a rare bird.

Thanks for your help. The penny drop now. A shorter propeller shaft for the 727 and longer for the A9 series. That means my shaft should be a straight fit according to the picture below.

I understand but a good machineshop may shorten it and weld it together as well as balancing it. I shall inquire some junkyards in Norway and Sweden about a propeller shaft to save me a lot of work. Correct me if I am wrong but the A904 gearbox number is a referance number for the A9.... and...

But I still have the old one which is longer and that can be used I presume??? Thanks my friend.

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...

Anybody know the codes on this axel? I hope it shall fit. The automat is a 727 from the car it was taken. Not sure what I have as I swopped one way back in 1990. The old one was clapped out. He has the cardan as well.

Dette stemmer til punkt og prikke. Men det finnes ofte bra med deler i Sverige selv om det tørker opp der også. USA og Rockauto har jo masse av slitedeler.

Yes, they were bullet proof and well engineered. Rally Sweden in February was run half a mile from our house in Sweden. Värmland, Hagfors was the centre.

Good morning to you. Yes there are a lot of old US cars over here. Volvo and SAAB too. The SAAB was the most comfortable one I have ever had, a 2000 9-5. Well engineered and a joy to drive. Rust unfortunately killed her. A 1996 SAAB 9000 was the fastest one I have had. Went like stink with the...

I will check everything when over to our house in Sweden. To find someone who may shorten it should be of minor problem in Sweden hopefully!

Good idea and I will ask him. Thanks again

Good idea and I will ask him. Thanks again

Thanks for your information and it came from a Diplomat car dismantled 2 weeks ago. He may have some more stuff lying around and I shall offer him $ 200 - $ 300 for it. Nice and clean so maybe I am lucky. I have all parts for rebuilding the 7 1/4" one already but would prefer the larger axel as...

Here is the rear axel I can lay my hand on. Looks nice and not sure how much to offer the guy. Any advice most appreciated. Not sure about the condition but spares to overhaul it from Rockauto seems to be in abundance. Tips and hints when you have time

Glad my is from 1978 but will check everything over during next week. Thanks for all your information.

Point taken but the one I may lay my hands on come from a Diplomat scrapped two weeks ago. I wait for some pictures from him. Thanks again for your support and help. We need more of your caliber these days.

Fantastic Mike and thanks a lot for your help. I shall ask the seller over here for dimensions. Will keep in touch. C is higher of course but the other values correspond. .600 " = 15,2 mm so should fit. 15,2 mm is less than 5/8" and my dampers are set to trailer hauling.

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...

I know my friend but a used one is spotted here in Norway so keep your fingers crossed. I have found some drawings so no problem with welding up a new one. Thanks for your help and advice. Gunnar

Good morning from Norway and a million thanks for your help. Most useful! I will follow your advice and keep you informed. We must all help each others and you are a wonderful representative among the Mopar people. Love from Norway Gunnar

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...

Not selling it as it works perfect. The only part missing is a little knob to the bottom right of the radio under the "PUSH" mark

Thanks my friend and when you live in Scandinavia the phone is not what you think about in the first place. I will give it a go. All the very best. Gunnar
