Just an observation - are you asking for the radio knobs and heater knobs, or the heater knobs and the radio? Your question could be interpreted either way.

Hi, I have a motor; can you provide any photos and your price please Thank you, Michael

Located a radio - thanks to all who responded. Michael

I am looking for a NON-FUNCTIONING AM radio for my Demon. I would like to gut the radio and replace the innards with modern electronics. Cosmetically, anything visible once installed should look presentable.

Hi, Good solution; I had a similar idea: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?p=1970558389&posted=1#post1970558389 Did you make the tapered guide on a lathe? What material did you use?

Here's where I bought my kit: http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsType/GasketKits.html

Okay, so no additional gasket sealer then? The Schumacher instructions say to use gasket cement on the base gasket "to hold in place", but that's on the underside - they don't mention anything on the top of the base gasket other than the strip caulk.

I like your solution, too. I never thought to put the seal on the table, I was trying to push it down over the shaft. Yours is another idea so good that it seems obvious - after the fact! Did you put any gasket sealer on top of the base gaskets?

I was going to give the hot water a try, but then I thought about using the tapered shaft and that did the trick. I imagine that the hot water would help, but I'd probably burn my hands in the process. ;) Plus, you'd probably have to work quickly before the seal cooled down.

I used dish soap as well...I don't think I could have done it without, even with the tapered shaft. Can't imagine how anybody installs the seals just by hand (with soap or not)

Here's a thread with photos of the grease fittings: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=35796

Glad to help! Yes, I did add the grease fittings. One thing that did concern me though was the possibility that drilling can cause metal chips can get into the assembly. I did my best to blow the chips away as I drilled. Hopefully it won't be a problem.

I bought a Schumacher wiper pivot seal kit for my 71 Demon, and struggled for quite a while to get the water seals on. Then I came up with a solution which worked so well, it now seems obvious. The instructions included in the Schumacher kit say not to use a mechanical spreading device, but I...

When reinstalling the pivots, should I put gasket sealer on top of the base gaskets? Schumacher's instructions do not say to do so, but they do say to use gasket cement on the underside of the gasket.

So...who owns the shared armrests then? Should passengers in the aisle or at the window each get 1.5 armrests, while the middle seat gets only two halves? Is it the luck of the draw? Where does it end?! ;)
