They Should Have What You Need.

Good Luck,
Clipper Joe

Hello all!
Just been working on a 1978 American clipper I purchased back in Feb 2021. She is missing the external batter door on the side and it is exposed to the elements    see attached picture for location.
Anyone have an extra or know of any place to find one? Otherwise I am thinking I will have to patch it closed before the winter.
Thanks ^_^

Sold

Yes so easy to Google when you know what to Google for; thanks for the information. My Clipper has the 16.5" Pilot Rear wheels. I know the Dodge VIN is a 1975 but perhaps the Clipper is a 1976 if you say I should have Budd Rear wheels? Anyway I'll get them on as tight as I can and take your advice and go to a shop and get them torqued properly. I lined the pin up properly and rotated the stems 180.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello & Welcome Cfcatt,
I found This Data that, May Help You,
It Is So Easy To Google For Info.

This is a subject that most RV'ers know very little about -- wheel lug nut torque.

If your Winnie uses Budd wheels (identified by a square-headed inner "spool" holding the inside tire, and a larger lug nut holding the outter wheel), your inner torque has to be 275 - 300 ft/ lbs; the outter torque is between 325 and 350 ft/ lbs.  IF YOU ARE USING A REGULAR LUG NUT WRENCH, YOU CANNOT TORQUE THEM PROPERLY!!!!

If your Clipper uses a single lug nut to hold both wheels, these are called "Pilot Hub" wheels.  The torque on each lug nut has to be around 300 - 350 ft/ lbs.  Again, you are not going to be able to torque them properly.  The Budd wheels use 450-500 ft/ lbs for both the Budd nut and the lug nut.

If you must remove your lug nuts, torque them as tight as you can with your lug nut wrench, then drive slowly to a truck stop or truck tire shop and have them re-torqued to specs.  Take To Big Rig Tire Shop, They Have A Multi Torque Wrench.
Mine Goes To 200 Lbs.

The Rear Dual Wheels On A 1975 Clipper Are Budd 16.5 Rims,
The Fronts On 1975 Uses Truck or Van1 Ton Rims.

If you Need More Info, I Can Copy Out of My Owners Dodge Parts Maintenance Manual.

Take Care & Be Safe,

Clipper Joe

Ps; Make Sure Rear Dual Rims, Make Sure Lining Pin In Used & Valve Stems Are At
180 Degrees.

Hello, I have a 1975 Clipper with the 360 engine; I am restoring this Clipper I bought back in 2011, I am replacing the tires and was wondering if someone could share with me the Front and rear lugnut torque specs. 16.5" wheels, Pin on rear whees hub locking the inner wheel to the hub.

Thanks

Our 1977 Clipper "The Diggler" has a severely damaged windshield. Still in tact, but not looking very good!

We have tried EVERYWHERE to find a replacement and have had no luck. We are even told it is obsolete and not made any more.

Anyone have one? We have money!
-or-
Anyone know a way to keep the cracks from spreading in case we just need to ride it out with this one?
-or-
Anyone know a windshield that could work to replace it? We know the part number is DW00760 and not looking good to find one. Probably unrealistic, but anyone know a windshield that would be "close enough" to act as a substitute? (if such a thing can be done in the world of windshields)

Looking for any experience, strength and hope the ACOC has to offer. Thanks as usual and safe travels, guys!

This unit is now sold.  Thanks everyone!
