Working at a fever pitch to fix the numerous problems on my new
LBC, I have come up with more in a continuing series of
queries:
1) With the car I received 2 "snap-on" chrome headlight trim
rings. For the life of me I cannot snap them on. They appear to
be the right diameter, and they come really close to snapping,
but the metal frame over which I imagine they snap has the upper part
bent (by design, not damage) upward, and there appears to be no
mating "bend" on the chrome rings.
Has anyone tried this before? Do I have the wrong part? HELP!
2) What's the opinion of the quality of the vinyl seat covers
sold by all the mail-order shops. I don't really want to shell
out for leather, but I do want it to look nice.
3) Where is the steering column grounded on the TR4. I've
determined that the fact that the horn doesn't work is due to my
steering column, and subsequently horn button, being isolated
from ground - but I don't know where/how to fix it!
Both conductor wires around the rubber steering column bushings
appear to be intact, but I don't really know what they are for,
or if they are involved here. Any hints?
Thanks,
Charlie
