My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

Not been doing much lately due to a cold, but been reading a bit in my parts manual. It is comprehensive, and will take some time to study enough to be confident with it.

But I am not entirely dead either, today I got a little roll of Nitrile rubber that I am going to make a new gas cap seal for. And also a piece of rubber to place under the battery.

Does anyone know how long the battery hold down bolts are supposed to be ? I bought a new clamp with two new bolts, and wingnuts, but the bolts where very long, and I had to cut one of them, but they are still so long that it looks odd. And where the bolts painted, and the wing nuts ?

While up at Home Depot for the roll of rubber I also got new screws for the right front armrest I am mounting, the one that was missing. The screw dimension seems to be 1/4" x 1 1/4", galvanized, pan head for Philips screwdriver.
The armrest has a crack where the screw is supposed to sit, so I plan fixing it with epoxy, and then fabricate a little metal plate and drill a hole in it so it hopefully will hold better.
