Location: Montreal, Canada | I'm looking for Part No. 1730087 ("O" Ring for gas tank filler tube - 1959 Plymouth), because the one in our car is leaking and needs to be replaced.
I found on the web that Collectors Auto Supply carried this part, but I have sent numerous emails in the last couple of weeks without any success..
Anyone here know where else I could find this part?? Thanks!

Still looking for it! Anyone got a source for this? |

They are used for something else on later 'mopes' but are identical to the FwdLk filler tube O-rings.
There is a part # listed. I looked a little bit , but didn't type in the right words,,,,,,,, |

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Hey Rick, was it the 1980s and '90s minivans? Or am I thinking of the headliner bows?
I'm bummed out because I am gonna need more of those O rings for some of future projects and Bernbaum had them just a few years ago. Now I've read he's out of them, too.

If Andy Bernbaum no longer stocks these O rings, why remove the posts pertaining to that fact? It will save time for members who may wish to know who DOESN'T carry a particular part, so they don't waste their time barking up the wrong tree.

Kenny,
I don't think anyone removed our posts... they were (and still are) in the other thread I opened about this same question.
Here:
http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=31000&...
The confusion is my fault because of those two threads, I'm sorry about that..
It's just that I figured my first post here in the "vendor's discussion" section wasn't really about vendors as much as about me wanting that O ring and looking for it... My mistake, really.
The right thread is now in the "Wanted section". |

Kenny, you might be right on BOTH accounts.
The '58 Ply headliner bow coverings were from the FULL SIZED Dodge Vans. Not so much the mini's.
I found a part # for the O-ring and it was from the mini's. I brought that old post out to the top, but lost it, and can't find the orginal post in the archives, because I seem to type in the wrong words in the search catorgory. |

Location: Slidell La. | So what is the part # for what you found , I need to start making a list of this stuff . Rick , I remember both of those topics in the archives , a long time ago . Is the headliner bow the same for 58 and 59 ?
Never mind , I see the part# at the top of the post .

Location: Arvada, Colorado (NW Denver Metro Area) | Soiouz & Charley, I bought mine earlier this year from a guy in Detroit area who sells on ebay all the time. His Ebay sign on H1965 out of New Baltimore, MI.
I bought one from him this year for under $10. He has had many of them for sale over the last couple of years, drop him a line via ebay to see if he still has any left

Location: Montreal, Canada | Well, just an update on this to tell everyone it's a hell of a lot of trouble to get ahold of anyone at Collectors Auto Supply, and I'm not sure at all I can recommend these guys. We're now more than a whole month after I ordered and paid for this part and still no news of them or the part.
I wrote again to know what was happening last week, since they had promised delivery whithin three weeks, but still haven't got any answer.

Do they have a phone number? You might get better service calling them? |
