I broke a couple of the tabs off on my cover for my steering coupler and now the cap barely stays on, any one know who sells the spring clip that snaps around the coupler and holds the cover on? Any help would be great, thanks Ryan

it depends on what style you have but I got mine from my local Dodge dealer. mine is the rectangle one. The dealer said that they used the same one until like 93 or so.

It's a 69 charger, and the thing I'm talking about is nothing they use from the factory. It's somthing that they made to keep the top on these coupler on better.

I'd be interested in this too. Particularly if they make one that clips on without having to disassemble everything.

I'm pretty sure you could put it on without taking it all apart, I just can't remember who sold them or if they still sell them.

Actually it was a factory part back in the 70's & 80's, it wasn't stock but a factory fix for the common loose coupler cover... A Moparts member reproduced it but he sold his last part over a year ago & didn't pan to make more...

thanks for the info, you wouldn't happen to what the members name was would you? Maybe he's got a hidden stash of them tucked away .

Unfortunately no I don't.. But I do remember him coming on & posting that he had sold out...I think it took quite a bit longer to recoup his investment than he had planned & unfortunately he had no interest in doing them again...

Make sure you measure correctly, there were two different length springs.

Mike,
Thanks for posting the link. I'm all sold out of the longer clip and only have the shorter style clips left. I wish someone was able to step up to the plate and start making these again. I've sold most of them locally to friends and friends of friends, they love them! I forwarded the scribbled blueprints you sent to me to one one the bigger Mopar parts suppliers/manufacturers in the country and he didn't seem to enthused about having them made. As a matter of fact, he had a few of the long style clamps in his inventory and I was able to pry a couple of those away from him for a customer. He did tell me that the few he had left were for his personal stash and there would be no more for sale. It looks like when I sell the dozen or so of the shorter style I have left, that will be the end of the line for a badly needed part for a poorly designed Chrysler part. You know that the steering coupler puking its guts because of a poorly designed cover was an issue for Chrysler when they had to design this spring clip to "hold" it all together. Ryan,I got your order and will email you about the shipping details.
Mark

I bought a couple from Mike (ekim) when he was trying to sell them here on Moparts. It seems to be one of those parts that no one can live without, until someone actually decides to step up and invest the money and time required to bring it to life. Then no one can see it's worth.
