What have you done to your DeLorean today?

While cleaning the car today I found these. Not the quarter that's just to get an idea of the size.

The metal piece looks like a pivot spacer. If so, don't throw it away, just send it to me...

Yea, that looks like the little sandwich of spacers and washers and such you make for the receptacle end of the seatbelts (the receiver end that bolts into the frame).

The spacer is the pivot for the seat belt up at the top of the rear speaker panel or down at the bottom at the rocker panel next to the seat. The black part keeps the panel safe from rubbing as that anchor point moves around. This is a pic from a year and a half ago when i redid my entire interior.

I hadn't realized they made those gasket/washer looking parts to clean up the top of the seatbelt anchor point. Thanks for mentioning Christian.

I did have another car related thought from earlier today...

I have one of these plugging my mixture adjustment hole: http://store.delorean.com/p-6399-plug-removeable.aspx

I noticed recently that the rubber end is pretty hard now and it doesn't fit super snug in that hole anymore. Like it got dried out a little. It's not loose enough to completely fall out on its own, but it can move a little just with the engine vibrating while it's running.

Anyone else find this happen to their own plug? Did you do anything special to soften it up a little? I didn't mind paying what's about $20 CAD by the time it arrives the first time around for this plug, but I won't do it a second time. I think a new rubber end could be found to put on if the one on there won't soften up one way or another. Any ideas?

When my car was still K-Jet, I plugged that hole with a golf tee wrapped in electrical tape. Fit nice and snugly, and worked just fine. Looked stupid, but cost nothing and worked.

if it's stupid, but it works, then it ain't stupid.

but more importantly, what color golf tee did you use?

When I got my car all it had over the adjustment hole was a piece of duct tape that barely had any adhesive left. I made a plug with Sugru:

It's moldable rubber that cures into hard rubber over 24 hrs. I just made a short "bolt" with a tapered shaft and pressed it gently on the hole to form a seal. Now I have a perfectly fitting plug that I can remove and replace easily.

This stuff has a ton of applications. I've used it to cap vac lines, add length to the door switch plungers, fill small holes, etc.

Mind sharing what you got from Amazon specifically?

Thanks,
