The only way to know if you need one or not is to remove the pulley and see if it has a groove worn into it. If there is, you get the sleeve, hammer it down over the groove so the seal has a nice,...
I'm 6' and I must have really long arms because my elbow has quite frequently knocked into junk stuffed in the coin try upon shifting into 2nd or 4th.
Can you tell me whose line kit this is?
Depending on the hot knife, you will risk melting the delrin.
And you don't smash your elbow into it shifting? Personally there is no way I could do this, maybe it is because my arms are long but I need room in order to shift and be comfortable.
I live near Tampa. I've been using 134 and haven't had any issues with it keeping me cool. Of course, the proper way to convert to it is to change the hoses, the oil in the AC system, flush it, new...
The red doesn't look even, kind of looks like it has been vinyl spray painted to me. No working AC or coil cover for 45K? That must make mine worth at least 60!
When my AC dies in my DeLorean, I tend to pop out my windshield and sport some good ol' ridin' goggles. The rear louvers can support the weight of the windshield to make the trek home but you have to...
I have three wheels installed on my car, and the forth has a wheel dolly under the rotor. Situated in the driver's seat (with the doors closed - I know, I'm sorry), I am holding a wire coat hanger in...
I swear, I'm starting to think the OP is Shep, back from a long break possibly with another DeLorean after selling his rare, one a kind low VIN one, because he couldn't handle being away from the...
You're thinking of Hervey's ball joints being sourced from a VW (I was a lucky recipient of these and had one break on me while driving!), not the tie rod ends. The tie rod ends were easily cross...
Thank you for the info. Can you tell me the height? It looks a bit tall and so I just wanted to measure in my car to see how far out the steering wheel would be.
I know the perils of trying to make repairs without the proper tools all to well, I've done this multiple times with the vice and sockets or a clamp, etc. so I know it can be done. I too worked many...
I really want to replace my steering wheel since I no longer have any leather wrap around it. Can you tell me the difference between this adapter and DPIs? I saw it mentioned in the ebay ad that...
If you have a vice, you can try to accomplish the removal/install of the lower ball joints and all bushings using the vice and a few sockets. It isn't easy without a press but it can be done. Unless...
There was a thread of possible mods here long ago, I can't find it but did find this. It was a big enough deal that people were looking at ways to prevent catastrophe....
You're stunned by $130 for bolts but might want to do an engine swap?
Anyway, go with the 12.9s and be done with it.
Vin 663 uses what looks to me like the wrong rivets to hold the vin plate down so I'd be suspicious of that one. Vin 664 looks correct and has the correct early frame.
I'd have to go home...
First of all, :popcorn: It takes some kahunas to come to a forum and throw down with someone who has the skills and knowledge that Josh does.
Second, I too have been riding on 12.9s for nearly 20...
Those aren't "janky frame repairs." That is how the early frames were made and how they differ from later frames.
I am sure once they realized how much extra time & material they were spending...

You can get ten feet of rubber u-channel edge trim on amazon for around $10 and free shipping if you're a prime member.
Just be warned - IF you go the amazon or hardware store route, you,...
Espey/DMCH already deleted the posts back in the day, I'd guess they wouldn't restore those specific messages and for good reason. I'm sure they wish this was finally buried. Here is some of the...
I couldn’t remember if it was early or late frames they undercoated but I do know that I took the frame from very early vin 712 and it had undercoating mainly in the front. I was lucky there was no...
