    Turn signals out of order

    Ok, here is an update on my flasher issues. It turned out to be a faulty turn signal mechanism in my steering column, so ordered a new one and now I have turnsignals. But if Im coming up to a cross section and activate the turnsignal and then apply the brakes, the turnsignal stops flashing? As...

    After spending more than 15 years as a project I finally got to take the virgin voyage with the car this weekend. Was a nervous trip to the local gas station for some fresh fuel. Everything went well besides the fact that the car need a front end alignment. So now its on to the details to make...

    Turn signals out of order

    Hi have recently reinstalled all of the electrical on my rotisserie restored -68 Charger. Everything works as it should except for the turnsignals. When I turn on the hazard every indicator works as it should, but when I try to use the regular turnsignal there is absolutely no action at all...

    Have turned my swaybar the otherway now. It clears but only by 1/4" so hope there will be no interference as the suspension moves up and down.

    Yes, thats how i wanted it to fit. Your bracket seem to have a slight bend to it witch mine doesent have, maybe thats what causing the interference? Will make another atempt at turning it around thou.

    Ha ha... wonderful. I reinstalled the Boedecker-Verner dealerplate in its original position on the taillight panel just for fun :-)

    Thomas 1968 Charger project

    Yes, I´m aware of that. I tried to mount it the other way around but it interferes with the brace between K-member and core support. Maybe because of the aftermarket swaybar mounts?

    Finally got my custom 3" driveshaft and got in place and it fits perfectly. It has an 108mm CV joint with slip function in front to match up against the modern Tremec 6060.

    Finished up the last details on the front suspension. The coupler on the steering column was very worn so desided to swap it for a Borgeson unit in stainless instead. Now I have absolutly ZERO play in the steering witch feels very nice.

    Had to make a temporary instrument cluster because the stock one was beyond saving. Have to bulid some more funds before I can buy a new one from Dakota Digital Also got my hands on a center console in a pretty sad state. Its an auto console from another -68 Charger. So after extensive cutting...
