No. I revived this old thread for the exact reason I said I did. That reason is written (in English even) in post #9. I'm not arguing with anyone. OK. Fact is, I really revived this old thread just so you could share your point of view of Mancini Racing. Thanks be...you came through.

Just checked the measurement, hoping that a 48" piece of bolster will do the trick...'cuz a 48" piece costs less than a 96" piece! Nope. It's going to take about 49". Of course! That is placing the bolster strap right at the joint between the two side trim pieces. There being a screw there...

Yup. Getting a set of headers only to find out later I got the wrong/incorrect/no-workee Z-bar would indeed be a waste of time. Thanks for the input(s)!

I hadn't considered approaching a fix from an outside POV. I was thinking that cutting a slit in a 'seam' then vacuuming/blowing/dislodging the antiquated dust might be helpful for stickage with an adhesive. Probably not. Besides, any cutting would reduce the already weakened structure of...

I don't read that as being what the OP said: There is no 'persuading' involved if the 'stud' is facing the wrong direction. A possible answer to this is: 'The OP has it wrong,' ...as far as his assessment of what 'needs' to be done. That may well be the matter...but no one said that.

?? The actual z-bar from Mancini in the OP post looks like the z-bar from TTI shown in post 3...which is said to be the correct z-bar. 'The one in the OP post is a BB bar'...is a reference to the Mancini catalog reference pic? Or...it's a reference to the bar the OP actually got from Mancini...

Yes, this is an old thread...but it has all the questions I have...just none of the answers. What was the resolution to this problem? The catalog pic of the Mancini z-bar is certainly different from the TTI z-bar that is said to fit for a Doug Header install. BUT, the pic of the z-bar...

Is there such a thing as inexpensive, good, AND easy? My '73 Duster has the OEM headliner. The exact/correct description of it I'm not sure...it's a textured cardboard affair. It's sagging a bit at the rear seam. Is there a tried-n-true reasonable fix for it that doesn't involve replacement...

Well th'ar 'ya go. The change of key from dash to column didn't even occur to me. I didn't know the year that happened but certainly was around the cut-off dates for fit on the wheel I was looking at. Thanks a bunch!

Looking for some input on aftermarket steering wheels. One I'm interested in says it fits a '69 Dodge Dart and a bunch of other Mopar stuff from '61-'69. I have a '73 Duster, manual steering box. Other than having put an aftermarket steering wheel on my car, I have no knowledge about 'em. Is...

OK. I didn't look up 'running gear'. Evidently I should have. My mistake. My apologies. sheesh.... I intended to offend, irritate, or pique no one. I have no idea what a thread looks like on a fone. If the question pertained to something other than what I own (and is described in my...

These snarks written even AFTER a pointy finger pointing said finger at what was already written but not read. What would you like: An elementary grade 'Fun with Dick and Jane' primer? I supplied make, model, and year with the question. What more of a 'clear manner' would you like to have...

I did consider the signature to be self explanatory. Why write it all over again when it's stated in the first place. It's a '73 car. It has '69 running gear... meaning drivetrain (as stated in the sig). It has the disc brake setup that a '73 340 Duster came with. Yes. Mine are cast iron...

There are multiple calipers listed on the innerwebz for my car. Mostly, they are said to be made of aluminum. That may be a correct spec, may not be. While specifically listed as a valid application, some of the selling platforms say it's a 'does not fit' my car. Has anyone here used a set...

1. You can't get the bearing through the seal. Yes. I can. 2. Pulling the bearing and seal out at the same time. NOT saying that. 3. A lot of times they will pop right through the seal. Exactly. 4. I would never.... NO argument that it's a good thing to do, not a reasonable or...
