I don't think that your standard electrical heat shrink has anywhere near the strength it would require to "bind" up your cables. The worse that could happen is that you can use too much heat, which
Heat-Shrink 101 I buy this stuff from a little electronics store in Westminster Ca. called, J and K Electronics. (714-890-4001). It comes in 4 foot sections, and in all sorts of colors. The last time
The loctite keeps the heli coil from spinning out when you remove the bolt later on. To get the optimum holding power, you need make sure both pieces are clean, and apply the loctite to the heli coil
You need to take a trip over to A-1 Foam & Fabrics in Santa Ana. They have everything you could possibly need to do an interior. The address is: 1812 South Main Street Santa Ana Ca 92707 714-835-152
When you say pot metal pieces, I hope you are talking about the pieces that hold the window closed after you shut it. I hope they didn't have you drilling out the pivot for the latch and the pivot f
I saw your post on the speedo problem, and was pretty sure that the 90 degree adaptor also changes the direction of roatation. I happen to have a spare one here and spinning it in my hands it would
Lets try this again, In my hands I am holding the 90 degree adaptor off of my 67.5 1600. No matter which end I turn clock-wise the opposite end turns counter clock-wise. That is the only way it coul
Thanks to another perspective from Pat Horne, and Stan Chernoff, I think I have finally gotten a handle on this speedo adaptor thing. The interpretation seems to have warped my sense of "direction".
For what it's worth, when I built my car I didn't know about the availiable stock wiring harness from Les, Stan or anyone else, so since I was already a Pomona fairgrounds swapmeet "junky" I asked s
What you get is a modern electrical fuse/relay/flahsher panel that is set up with provisions for switched power (via the relay) for the items that you don't use until the ignition is on, and constan
Like the song says "8 days a week" Just do what I did......I got a roadster for my wife.........best deal I ever made! Jon Huntington Beach, Ca 67.5 1600
Hey Lister's I just scored on one of those un-believeable deals that you always think happen to everyone else. WOOOO HOOOO I have been keeping my eyes open for a 67.5 2000 since pretty much the day w
You should not only be concerned, but you should consider leaving the roadster here where it is safe. It just so happens that I know these SocalRoc guys that would be happy to take her out occasiona
If you are not diss-assembling the gauges, then the best way to lube them is to set them face down, remove the wire clip on the drive shaft, and put a generous amount of lubricant where the tail sha
Wow! If you are getting nailed $165.00 just to balance the crank, then you need to find a new balancer. I had everything done, including the pistons, rods, crank, flywheel etc. for $140.00. I know o
The truth is: The equipement to do a proper "spin" balance on the crank, camshaft, and the flywheel is not your typical machine shop equipement. It is not only very sensitive but also very expensive,
Sorry if it didn't work the first time, but still worth a laugh! Return-Path: <mframpton@socal.rr.com> Received: from rly-zd02.mx.aol.com (rly-zd02.mail.aol.com [172.31.33.226]) by air-zd01.mail.aol.
As a matter of fact we did go to the trouble of powder coating the soft top frame. We started by taking LOTS of pictures before and during the diss-assembly process. Unfortunately you have to pretty
