[Chrysler300] stuff needed and 300D rockers





Hi, guys and girls;

 

I am looking for three items,

 

1) on first , I believe any 57 Mopar convert fits, maybe others too. Need sunvisor arms or complete sun visors to use,  or redo, for C convert , or any 57 Mopar convert. Believe these are unique to 57 the way the arm mounts into swivel, but not sure .Any info / comments helpful. We have some related “holding “ parts that screw to header . This statement based on looking at 300C  and 57 dodge convert, then at a D . Visors are for 57 Dodge convert, actually .

 

2) (I can dream) looking for external stainless finish trim that goes over roof cloth on 57 converts , 3 wide pieces, all or some of them? ; for same Dodge . 58D.  59E might be same

 

3) last,  know we all have ‘other mopars” looking for internal chrome corner trim, upper inner A post 67 dart or cuda convert . or black for both sides.

 

300D ROCKERS:

 

Some potentially helpful info; in restoring a “real” 300D adjustable rocker arm assembly, we found one  with a cracked pedestal, where it meets head . Very easy to do error happened. The rocker arm pedestal has a little locating pipe or hollow dowel pressed into each one about .5” diameter , at head bolt locations. This was not seated into head correctly when prior guy started torquing head bolts ; it had hooked on entrance hole for it,  at slight angle. Torquing head drove it into pedestal maybe 1/8” more than correct at an angle and it jammed there for last life of engine. This not only cracked pedestal, it raised rocker arm maybe .1 “ only right there” ; we found it because adjusting screw was a little lower into nut, not much nut engaged , than the rest (why that?), and careful looking by my buddy Ed.  . I do not think this upward crack matters structurally , had to go to machine shop to get jammed pilot dowel out, but this is an easy thing to have happen. And wrecks geometry, bends shafts etc . Hollow dowel had deep shoulder groove from head squeezing it on one side at an angle…watch that damage too, it can cause repeat if not smooth and straight. Inspect seating of rocker stands  into head before any tightening. If one or few of your adjusting screws go in deeper, into lock nuts, look for this…

 

Thank you,

 

John
