What in the world is a headlight door shaft? And what car besides 68-70 Chargers had headlight doors? And no chargers in 71 72 or 73 had these doors....
Take care,
Rick

The shaft that goes through the headlight motor and raises and lowers the headlight doors on Chargers, Furys, New Yorkers and so on. 68-9 were vacuum actuated, 70 went to electric motors, and Yes, 71 Chargers had them. I've rebuilt motors for 72 and 73s also. So, what are the lengths for the shaft for 70 and up cars?

Do you think the Imperial shaft would be the same width as a Charger?
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

Good question. Is there a demand for these shafts? I have a guy needing one for a 70 Charger. I have one that's 31" long. I'm looking into having them made and thought about the likliehood of there being different lengths.

Topher, I've used ones from Chrysler C bodies, which were longer, and cut them down to fit 70 Chargers,....I also tried using cold rolled steel bar stock, didn't last long, you'll need the rods to have a spring steel temper, esp the 71-2 Charger set-ups, as the cast doors are heavy in comparison to the 70 Charger doors,...might I suggest a one length rod, that the customer cut down for their application, as the "square" shape/profile is all the same from what I've seen from B, to C, to R body concealed motor driven headlite doors
