The ones I use are actually made by Beru, for Volkswagens. They work beautifully and last just about forever. The best ones I've ever used were by either Beru or Bosch, for a Porsche 924 (I think),
Last October, before I put it away for the winter. It'll get it again on Thursday (hopefully) in preparation for the trip to Carlisle. Generally speaking, my car gets a chassis lube at 1000 mile inte
Arriving late afternoon, today, sans Midget (too much rain & not enough time to fit the hardtop, and I need more space for beer and parts). Bud Osbourne --Original Message-- From: spridgets-bounces+a
Instead of lifting by the rocker cover studs, which subjects them to bending in a direction for which they weren't intended, I've had good success with using a nylon strap (a motorcycle tie-down str
With great sadness, I've had to cancel my plans (and both rooms I had reserved) to attend. I had really been looking forward to the drive out and back, as well as the event, itself. My reason for can
Due to business commitments, I've had to cancel both rooms I had reserved, for the Jubilee, at Inn at Grand Glaize. Sure hope some of you are able to snap them up, today. For any Spridgeteers passing
Yes, I understand how hard it is to imagine, as we're being told by the "elites" that we're suffering under the worst economy since The Great Depression, yet my telephone keeps ringing with new assig
Having a senior moment, here, guys. I'm painting my '73 Midget restoration project, and I've come up with a memory blank. Is the entire assembly painted body color, or are the insides of the shrouds,
Thanks, Frank, and others who've responded. I guess I need to clarify that it is not the splash panels I'm concerned with. It's the pieces right behind the grill, on either side & everything that wou
Two summers ago, my '72 Midget developed a similar problem to what you've described. It turned out to be that a small piece of dirt had gotten sucked past the air cleaner gasket (DPO had distorted t
Depends on how you define "major tear-down", and how original you want it to look. If it's done wrong, it'll stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. The key consideration is how you plan to connec
Any of you.....I mean youns (it IS in Pittsburgh, after all) "Spridgeteers" planning to attend? I'm guessing (since I haven't seen the pre-registration numbers) that we'll have comfortably in excess
You can count on me and my old Chevy from the WV/PA border (+/- say 50 mi.) to somewhere around Donegal or Somerset, along the PA Turnpike (+/- 50 mi.). Bud Osbourne --Original Message-- From: sprid
Sounds a bit thirsty, to me.......but then you don't say what Crane cam you are running, or which carburetor(s) you are using. What about spark advance curve? Your cam profile will work much better
Never a good idea to let the insurance company "total" your car, then buy it back from them. First of all, you will have to bid on it, to get it back, which can be expensive. Then, when you do get it
Yeah, life was much simpler back in '79. Now, when they total your car, and you want to keep the carcass, they offer it up for bids. You have the opportunity to match the high bid, if you want to kee
Somehow, there is a "missing link" in Ohio. Last time I checked, John Kuzman was going to meet David, and bring the car to Zanesville/Cambridge Ohio to meet me. I would then meet Charley Braun somew
Last week, I spent several frustrating minutes trying (successfully) to "beat" the TireRack.com website, to find some Kumho 758 Power Stars for my '72 Midget. It seems that they do not show the Midge
Sorry to hear of your sour experience with TireRack.com's personnel. I've been buying tires from them for just about 18 months, now, and I have been generally pleased with their service and prices.
Thanks, Steve. Actually, Windows Outlook and Outlook Express have morphed into Windows Mail, on Windows Vista operating systems. I clicked onto a "Help" icon, which directed me to some sort of forum.
