I did get this from Delorean several years ago, when they said they were actually using Red Tek in their shop. I don't know if that's still the case.

Thanks Jonathan,
I've no idea why that intermediate mounting bracket is missing, but perhaps I can fabricate something suitable.
Thanks!
My wiper delay bracket is suspended by a zip-tie on the ductwork, and I want to mount it properly. I've looked at the FSM page M:09:03, and it's no help at all. I looked at this picture...
On Season 2, episode 5 of Goblin Works Garage (Motor Trend TV) at about 56 minutes, there is a scene at Santa Pod dragstrip in the UK, where you can briefly see a DeLorean in the right lane of the...
I'm calculating .47 ohms for the wiring, fuse, etc, and .63 ohms for the locked pump. So Dave, with your pump pulling 6 A, do you recall what voltage you got at the pump, or rather how much drop you...
Just to follow up... I did get my replacement connector hose for my TU pressure tester, and was able to make some measurements. Pressure is 72 psi, with flow of 26 fl oz in 30 seconds (slightly over...
Thanks for confirming that Dave. A little less than 2 qts in 60 seconds sounds close enough to 29 gal/hr to me.
I'm assuming that 70 mph cruising takes 2-3 gal/hr to sustain, and moderate...
This makes sense if you just think of the dirt as being additional series resistance, which, along with bad connections, small wire, etc., would reduce the current.
I thought you were a big...
I want to measure fuel flow rate. I believe this would be best done by measuring the flow rate at the fuel return line (FD to fuel tank, via accumulator), with pump running and engine off. Where is...
I tried to use my TU-447 fuel pressure tester, and found the connector hose (FD to WUR) leaking severely. I found the replacement hose ( 71408 ) at langtools.com which is also A&E - the original...
I cringe when I watch the guys on 'Forged in Fire' - they crank away on taps as if they were cranking on a can opener. Ditto to Bitsyncmaster and David T comments. Go a half turn in, then a quarter...
Is that snap ring a generic part? For some reason I thought it was not obtainable.
TIA

I got a Mityvac MV4560 from Amazon a couple of years ago...
The mounting points for my original antenna were not grounded. So I had to run the new antenna black ground wire to a good metal ground. I ran it back to the area where the original relay was...
I've had experience with the Amazon Fir trees for another application. If you look at several of the vendors, you can find some that give very detailed and precise dimensions of the product.
I start to worry when using cheaters to create massive torque that the fastener will snap or twist. Somehow the impact wrench seems safer.
If you've seen a video of someone measuring dwell on a Delorean, it always shows an Actron CP7605. I got mine from Amazon for $23, but they're no longer available there. You really want an analog...
Sorry, I can't remember exactly where I did that. I may have had a splice somewhere that let me tap into it. I'll try to have a look later to see if I can remember.
Although you replaced the O2 sensor, you still might want to verify the sensor input to the ECU. It should rise to about a half-volt after warmup.
I haven't done it myself, but perhaps you could...
My D has a very noticeable 'waddle', at speeds of 20 MPH and up. The tires are very recent, but the car did sit for perhaps 3 months, until a week ago, without rolling. I can measure 0.050" of...
Thanks to all you guys.
At this point, it is a moot issue for me. With the current weather here in Houston, I'll probably drive the D every 2-3 days. And in that mode, it starts and runs...
I suppose you're right. What I was thinking was to do step 3.c, on page D:02:01 (apply vacuum directly to WUR lower chamber) to force the lower control pressure for starting. But by the time I go...
Thanks Ron and Dave M.
I concur that initially unplugging the WUR will help with the startup after hibernation, and in fact have observed it. But, if I take a gamble and don't do that, does...
I started it up yesterday, after a 2-day rest, and it started and idled instantly. I did not give it extra 'priming' cycles.
It's not clear what the differences are between a 2-day rest, and a...
