First trial of Viper ownerhip: Finding parts...

[topgeartowers]

Hey guys,

Despite being determined to get to the American Air show and see some of you, work frustratingly got in the way. Then this weekend I was within a hairs breadth from Duxford air show, but as I was taking my lady for an anniversary weekend away in Cambridge for the weekend, I suspected I shouldn’t try and sneak a car meet in...

To cut a long story short, the last thing I wanted to do was land on the forum, miss the events then post up asking for help - so for that I'm sorry!

I've decided I want to make Dave's old Viper famous by getting it into Top Gear Live, but I need to replace some parts so she's strong, and I'm struggling to find somewhere to buy them from. Dodge UK are no help, claiming they have no parts for a 1994 R/T, and I'm struggling to find parts from the States as well.

I'm praying someone in the club might know where I can get suspension and engine parts from.

Thanks in advance lads,

Rowly

You're in the right place.

Do you know exactly what you want/need?

[ViperDave]

Plenty of places to get stuff from, all in the US but all helpful and willing to ship over here and it can be pretty quick also.

pleased ignore the edited time and date at the bottom of my previous post the PH clock must be wrong

Thanks so much lads, what I'm after is:

Complete set of suspension bushes
complete set of engine gaskets (excluding head)
Diff rear cover with mounts

Apart from those, she's solid as a rock!!!

[GTSDave]

Hi Rowly,

I would think that Chuck will definitely be able to provide you with all those parts.

Hopefully speak to you soon mate

The sump and valve cover gaskets are re-Useable depending on condition....

This plate would look great on your viper as its the plate that was on the RT/10 in the TopGear episode with the SRT/RT/10......

I love that plate, but I'm having to be very grown up about what I spend my car money on at the moment

Thanks again for the fast advice lads, I'm sure with those contacts I'll find the parts I need.

"The perfict plate..."

He may be good at fishing but not so hot on the spelling!

[Leatherman]

That's his Del Boy impression

Quick one to thank every for the help, I've just finalised a large order from Chuck for all the parts I need (so much for Dodge UK - useless!)

Chuck seems a brilliantly good bloke, REALLY knew his stuff and works superfast.

I'm a happy camper
