Don't think they are NOS, but rather a (poor) reproduction. Typical MP junk of the era.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Same story here. Back in 2000 I bought 4 of that same part# from the local Chrysler dealer for my Swinger 340 that was being restored. In 2002 when I went to install them... very poor fit!!
It was the lesser of two evils, in spite of the poor fit they still looked better than the old banged up ones.

I would appreciate if you would post how/if you fix them. Even after 10 years I may try to fix them if you have success.




I will certainly post what I do. I was going to cut into them today but I decided to try and find an older original used ring that fits and take some measurements off of it first.
So if you know anyone that has an old original 14" ring that I can borrow for some measurements let me know. I would pay for the shipping to and from. I have a shipping address in Niagara Falls NY.

I have a couple old ones that you can use to measure. Let me know if you want to borrow them.
