    Headlight switch knob fell off shaft

    I pulled the knob to turn on the headlights, and the knob came off in my hand. The switch still works normally but now I have to grab the triangular ridged shaft. Does the knob just glue onto the shaft? I don't see any other means of attaching it.

    Modern 3 point seat belts?

    I just last week had my factory belts shortened by 4 inches at an upholstery shop. They are much better now (lap belt stays around my hips instead of my belly). Again, my Swinger is a 1974. The belts were changing just about every year in those days, so my experience may only be relevant if...

    Modern 3 point seat belts?

    It's a bench seat car and the kit was supposed to fit bench seat A, B, and E body cars from 71-74. The frustrating thing is the picture shows straps that would be the right length, but the actual kit was different. The straps with female ends (that bolt to the driveshaft hump) are 22" long...

    Modern 3 point seat belts?

    If you plan to buy the aftermarket belts made by Seat Belt Solutions, sold by seatbeltsplus.com and seatbeltplanet.com, be sure to check the measurements on the belts you're buying. On the ones I ordered the piece that attaches to the driveshaft hump is WAY too long. It reaches halfway around...

    Speedometer not working

    Here's what mine looked like when I got the car. Needless to say, my speedo didn't work at the time.

    Speedometer not working

    My speedometer jumps when I bang on the dash or release the parking brake suddenly. I'd guess your needle is working but the cable is not connected. The temperature gauge problem is probably unrelated.

    New 3 point seat belts

    You might be able to fix them; see SlantSixDan's post here. SlantSixDan also recommends Securon belts from Stafford Vehicle Components. They are in the UK but they have an ebay store. I'd give them a call to make sure you get the right thing because there are a lot of different products. I...

    How to take backs off split bench seat?

    Man, am I glad you posted this. I never would have thought that little washer was the only thing holding the seat back on. Thanks!

    1974 Dart Swinger front seat covers

    Funny, I'm looking for the same thing, also for a '74 Swinger. Legendary has one, item AA74CLVS020100, but I'm not sure exactly what comes with it. I'll let you know if I find out.

    Bench seat mount, replacement part

    Hate to bump my own post, but here's a pic I stole from someone's (completed) eBay listing. This is the part I need. On the listing it was called Front Seat Floor Bracket. Anybody know where I could find one, or if it goes by a different name?

    Bench seat mount, replacement part

    My new '74 Duster has rust everywhere, but one of the first things that needs to be fixed is the bracket that supports the bench seat. I can't find this part, and I'm not sure what it's called. Here's a picture, looking back along the driver's side. You can see how the bracket is rusted and...
