I'm looking for the outside glass weatherstripping on a 4 door model. This is a 1 inch high rubber profile with some felt coating on it. On top there is a metal rail facing the door side and acts as a strenghtener. The profile screws on the outer upper doorlip along the windows. Does anyone know a source to get these strippings in lenght or off the roll. Thanks .

Mike and Guy,I purchased sealt belts for my 300H from WESCO PERFORMANCE; 215
Ramona Pl.; Camarillo,Ca 93010. E-mail " wesco performance.com ", Phone:
805-738-0223. Cost was $24.00 per set, and the item no. is LL74-02, I think.
I measured my old "H" belts last night. The belting measurement on the
buckle piece is 45", and on the insert piece is 22-1/2". Hope this helps.
You might also try Snnake-Oyl as someone else suggested. They will restore
my old original belts for about $180 for both sets.

no idea where you can find the anchor assemblies. If you are interested, let

Subject: [Chrysler300] Seat Belts & "Boots"
Hello fellow club members. I'm new to the club, but not to Chrysler. I was
lucky enough to be sponsored by Mopar while racing max wedges in the 60s.
I am in need of 2 "sets" of seat belts for the 62 or 63 Chrysler bucket-seat
cars (Chrysler 300, Plymouth Sport fury, Dodge Polara 500) (1 set = male
insert with belt and anchor end and female buckle with belt and anchor end).
The belt material has a fine 4-weave pattern (as opposed to being uniformly
course) and can be black or tan. Each anchor end consists of 2 flat pieces
of metal with a "J" hook on one end and a rectangular slot for the belt in
the other end. The two flat pieces are held together by a small machine
screw and lock nut. I need 8 of the flat plates with "J" hooks.
The "J" hooks pass through an "eye" bolt which passes through a large, flat
washer, then through a hole in the floor, where it screws into a plate with
a nut welded onto it. I need 4 eye bolts, 4 large washers, and four plates
with nuts.
Last, but certainly not least, I need the black vinyl "boots" or sleeves
that cover the 2 plates and anchor bolt for each belt segment. Each boot is
about 7 inches long, flat for most of its length and then flares out to form
a round base with 2 "ears" for the metal plates. I need 4 of these - 1 for
each belt segment.

I do believe that it is, indeed, a DeSoto, and not a Chrysler. Seems to be
missing a rear axle, and parts of the Sure-Grip are not there either. The
powerplant appears to be intact, though ! Reminds me of the shortened 300C

I have an odd question/ statement, Has anyone used a part off of their 300 on any of their other cars?
I have a 2003 Mazda Protege 5 and the first time that I honked at someone they turned around and laughed
at me. So I went home and found some spare High note and Low note horns from my 1964300K . So I
rigged them up to fit the Protege and the next time I honked the horn everyone was looking for a tank,
they only saw the little Protege.

Subject: K Steering Wheel - Painting
Hi Group:
Some time ago, I asked if anyone had a decent rectangular steering wheel
I could use for my K convert. While nobody offered one, I did get a few
suggestions concerning painting a repaired wheel to match the car. (I am looking
for a blue wheel, if they exist.)
My question is this - are there any particular preparations to be made in
order to get paint to adhere to that plastic on these wheels. My partner
(the body shop guy) says that he doesn't think the paint will stick to the wheel
for any length of time, because of the composition of the plastic on the
wheel. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete Fitch

On the subject of seat belts, are the belts in my 300H supposed to be tan or black? Were seat belts installed for the back seats also, or only for the front seats? And if they were installed for the back seats, where were they fastened, to the floor or to the lower seat rail?

Hi Jim;
I think you could save some big bucks if you remove the front and back seats
first. Makes it a whole lot easier to work inside. You might want to check
with whoever you get to do the job. I've done this job many times on imports
and the worst part/most time spent, is in removing all the seats and trim,
so you can work.

Mark, I have forewarded the seat belt info to you. Let me know if you did
not receive it. The original 300H belts were black and only installed for
the front seats.

Greetings Group,
On the subject of seat belts, are the belts in my 300H supposed to be tan or
black? Were seat belts installed for the back seats also, or only for the
front seats? And if they were installed for the back seats, where were they
fastened, to the floor or to the lower seat rail?
Thanks,
Mark Souders

PPG has a special composition paint for vinyl tops which I used on my top
and adheres well with no problems so far. Maybe it would work well on
plastic or perhaps they can prepare a different composition specific to your
purposes.

Subject: [Chrysler300] K Steering Wheel - Painting
Hi Group:
Some time ago, I asked if anyone had a decent rectangular steering wheel
I could use for my K convert. While nobody offered one, I did get a few
suggestions concerning painting a repaired wheel to match the car. (I am
looking
for a blue wheel, if they exist.)
My question is this - are there any particular preparations to be made
in
order to get paint to adhere to that plastic on these wheels. My partner
(the body shop guy) says that he doesn't think the paint will stick to the
wheel
for any length of time, because of the composition of the plastic on the
wheel. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete Fitch

Subject: 62 & 63 Seat Belts
My sincere thanks to those of you who responded to my request for seat belts components for a 62-62 Chrysler bucket-seat car. Your responses yielded the eye bolts for the floor, possibly the flat anchor plates with the "J" hook on one end and the slot for the belt on the other. I'm still looking for the male & female buckle components (about 2 1/2 inches square and chromed) and the 7-8" long black vinyl "boots" that cover the anchor hardware. Please let me know if you have any of these parts and are willing to part with them. Mike

Mike, you might try SsnakeOyl for the remaining components you need. I was
able to get original buckles for my 65 from them in perfect condition.

Subject: Re: K Steering Wheel - Painting
Hi Pete, and group,
Ive painted several wheels over the years and have yet to
have any adhesion problems. Ive done regular wheels and also had to
re-woodgrain the wheel in my Charger.
Basically, just wet sand the wheel after repairs with
220, 320 then 400.. no finer. Spray the wheel with a good flexible primer made
for plastics. I believe MarHyde or SEM makes them available in spray can form.
You can also try Urethane Supply Company for universal primers ( Im sure
they have a website ) Dont put it on heavy.. just dust a few light coats on to
achieve hiding of the original color of the wheel.
Next, top coat with the color of your choice You can have
your shop or supplier mix the paint in either spray cans or pints probably or
try Mopaints.com. Ask for Rob, he's in NJ and has been fond of my K for years
so im sure he'd be willing to help out if you need a custom color matched.
You can go with several heavier coats with the color
unless you want to clear coat. In that case keep the color coat minimal and then go
heavier on the clear. Once dried the wheel can be buffed with a
microfinishing compound... Gil at your shop will know all about this.
Dont make a big ordeal about it... you can do it at home
and don't be afraid of spray cans as long as you use an epoxy. Your repairs
will fail and the wheel will probably re-crack long before your hands wear the
paint off. Oh .. remember you can spray epoxies, enamels and urethanes over
laquers (in a pinch..but it's never really recommended mixing types or brands of
paint ) but never try to use laquer over any other type of paint as it will
lift the paint and you'll have a mess.
Hope this helps...
Mike Laiserin
