The list has been pretty quiet lately. I hope every one had a Great
Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and will have a Happy New Year.
Ok gang, I know a lot of you have got your Bricklins in the garage for
the winter. That means a couple of things. 1. Many of you will be working
on them. So get out your digital cameras, take pictures of what you're
doing and write an article for the magazine. Are you replacing the fuel
pump, the water pump? If so, let others learn from your mistake. Especially
anyone working on the powersteering pump! There are 5 brackets that hold
it on. Be very careful when you disassemble it, take pictures before you
remove each bracket, then take a picture of the bracket after it's off.
Now you'll have a record of how they go back on. I spend a couple of days
trying to put mine back together, and several phone calls. Now please write
it up, so others have the info.
2. Since the B has been put away, you aren't driving it, and have more time
to think about what you've done the last year. Any projects you've
started and couldn't finish? Any trips you went on? Any breakdowns?
Write us an article.
Are you new to the club? How about an article introducing yourself to the
club and some pictures of you, your family, and your car.
I need articles. For the old timers, remember there's always a new comer
to the group. So share your expertise. Write a novice article explaining
some simple about the car, the engine, or how to do something.
As an example, I reciently had to do a rear brake job on one of my mini vans
that has drum brakes. It dawned on me, I've learned a lot of tricks over
the years, so I took pictures, and have a Novice corner article on redoing
brake shoes on a drum brake system. While this article doesn't have a
Bricklin as the model, it is a good generic article for beginners and
hopefully will be in the April issue.
