Dear Group, HELP! I was lubricating the pivot points on my pride and joy 61 G convert this weekend when I noticed what appears to be a stress crack/fracture on the passenger side rear rail 'ear' which holds a pin that connects a bar from this point to the piston rod of the lift mechanism. If this description doesn't make sense, the part number stamped into the piece is 1884586. This piece has two cast 'ears' , one of which is almost twice as thick (the outside) as the other (the inside). Naturally, the inside ear is the one which holds the pin that goes through the lever bar and rests in the outer (thicker) ear for support. The crack is along the base of the thin ear. I don't know what this is made of, or if it can be heli-arc'd or otherwise strengthened. I'd like to start the search now for this convertible top piece before the inevitable happens. I'm guessing it's the same part for at least 60-62 all C-body, and hopefully more years than that. With the value of these vehicles nowadays, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a convert parts car, but if anyone knows of one, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it. Thanks, John Nowosacki G-vert, 62 NYer Wagon, Jensen Interceptor -----Original Message----- From: Les & Kim [mailto:smckl@xxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 10:25 AM To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Chrysler300] H-Intake Looks to be a complete 300-H intake, Carbs & air cleaner for sale on e-bay.
